Project JUST Research Group+Overstock policy+methodology

Use publicly available reports from the brand OR third-party reported information for the Project JUST category: Environment to answer this question. We suggest familiarizing yourself with the brand’s reporting by visiting the brand’s website, or Annual, Integrated or CR Reports.

Managing overstock is important, as it showcases which brands are keeping added waste out of landfills by choosing not to destroy any overstock garments. For example, Lululemon specifically has a section on its website titled “We Made Too Much” where they report how that they sell overstock merchandise at a discounted price and at final sale. Many companies incinerate overstock.
