Victorias Secret Lingerie Mnf Sustainability Actions

Published ESG reporting

Victoria’s Secret & Co. has published ESG reports and says these reports explain its progress on environmental, social, and governance issues. The company says its 2024 materiality review, done with a third party, helped decide which topics matter most, such as climate change, waste, human rights, and privacy. It also says its board committee reviews ESG progress at least quarterly. This shows the brand has built a formal system for tracking sustainability issues, even though the reports still leave gaps on some targets and outcomes.

Mapped supply chain tiers

The company says it maps 100% of its Tier 1 and Tier 2 lingerie and apparel suppliers, all Tier 3 cotton spinners, and about one-third of Tier 4 cotton fibers. In plain terms, this means it has more visibility into where its materials come from and who handles them before products reach stores. Victoria’s Secret says this helps it reduce supply chain risk and check ethical standards. It also says over 80% of its core production partners have worked with it for more than 20 years.

Expanded recycled materials

Victoria’s Secret has said it is increasing the use of recycled materials in products. In a 2022 ESG report covered by WWD, it said 24% of polyester and 11% of polyamide came from recycled sources. On its sustainability pages, it also says the share of preferred fibers in its portfolio reached 42% in 2024, up from 17% in 2021. Preferred fibers are materials the company says have lower environmental or social impacts than standard options.

Started circular bra pads

In 2023, Victoria’s Secret launched a bra pad that can be recycled in a closed-loop system, which means the used pad can be turned back into a new one. The company says the Forever Bra was designed with a second life in mind, and customers can return the pad to Victoria’s Secret or PINK for recycling. This is one of the brand’s clearer circularity steps, since it tries to keep a product part in use instead of sending it to waste.

Routed returns for reuse

The company says returned and damaged products are sorted at its Ohio distribution center so they can go to the best end-of-life option. Items in like-new condition are set aside for resale. Others are donated to nonprofit partners. Products that cannot be resold or donated are sent to Debrand, a woman-owned textile sortation company, for further sorting. This shows the brand is trying to keep more products out of landfill, although it does not publish full results for how much is reused, donated, or recycled.

Cut energy use in facilities

Victoria’s Secret says it has upgraded its U.S. offices and distribution centers to use less energy and water. It reports LED lighting, motion sensors, a white roof to reduce cooling needs, and a central chiller system in one distribution center. For these facilities, it says it sources 100% carbon-free power through Emissions-Free Energy Certificates, which are documents that match electricity use with clean power generation. The company also says it will keep reporting water use in its annual ESG report.

Set supplier and labor rules

The brand says it uses supplier standards to manage human rights and working conditions. Its sourcing pages say it audits cotton chain-of-custody records and uses Oritain testing, a scientific method that checks where fibers came from, to confirm cotton origin. Good On You also notes that the company has a supplier code of conduct that bans forced labor, unauthorized subcontracting, and supports collective bargaining. These steps show some labor controls are in place, but independent assessors still say the brand is not transparent enough on worker pay and audit depth.
