Together, we can create a brighter, greener, and more sustainable world for generations to come.”
Lovesac’s ESG framework relies on aspects of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Building Products and Furnishings and Multiline and Specialty Retailers & Distributors standard. The strategy also takes inspiration from the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to align Lovesac’s strategic purpose with global social and environmental priorities. This latest ESG report includes Lovesac’s progress to meeting their long-term environmental, social, and purpose-focused goals.
Key highlights include:
- ESG targets focus on three key pillars which Lovesac designates as Earth, Love, and Purpose. The report covers plans for ESG improvements in these areas over the next two decades.
- LOVE: Lovesac continues to foster a culture that embraces and celebrates the experiences, beliefs, backgrounds, expertise, talent, and individuality of everyone.

- EARTH: Lovesac has committed to repurpose 1 billion plastic bottles in its products’ fabric and materials as supported by a partnership with REPREVE®. By the end of Lovesac’s fiscal year 2024, the partnership resulted in a total of more than 240 million bottles repurposed in the production of Lovesac product fabrics and materials.
- PURPOSE: Lovesac continuously aims to maintain the trust of their customers, shareholders, employees, partners, and communities. This trust is built on a commitment to integrity. When everyone at Lovesac follows strong policies, the integrity of our brand is reinforced. The Company is expanding its Sustainable Supply Chain program to include new transportation and warehousing vendors. Because the Company approaches its relationships in the same way it approaches its products—as a long-term investment—the Company’s suppliers are committed to making products of enduring quality that uphold the high-performance standards we set for them.
The report features the Company’s continued goal to meet net-zero waste and emissions by 2040 and its Designed For Life principles on inventing and innovating in order to deliver more high-quality, sustainably manufactured product platforms in multiple categories across the home space.
This report is Lovesac’s fourth annual ESG report and is part of the Company’s multi-phased ESG commitment to serve its customers, associates, communities, suppliers, and stakeholders in a way that benefits them all.
