The fashion industry has been a target of [intense scrutiny](http://www.conecomm.com/fashion-revolution) ever since the [Bangladesh factory collapse](http://www.conecomm.com/bangladesh-factory-victims-fund) nearly two years ago, which has resulted in many brands taking a closer look at supply chains. The result has been a number of initiatives including increased worker pay, artisan collaborations and conscious collections. However, one brand is going beyond the collection or one-off initiative – working to achieve 100 percent sustainability in all its practices.

Fashion brand [EILEEN FISHER](http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisher.jsp) has embraced the phrase "no excuses" when it comes to its sustainability efforts. This month, the brand announced a bold effort to attain [100 percent sustainability in its practices](http://www.sustainablebrands.com/news_and_views/business_models/hannah_ritchie/eileen_fisher_says_no_excuses_drive_towards_100_sustai) by 2020. The plan, called [Vision2020](http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisher/Behind_the_Label/Vision2020.jsp), aims to create a responsible supply chain by examining every aspect of the way the brand does business "[from field to the factory to the landfill](http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisher/Behind_the_Label/Vision2020.jsp)." Vision2020 outlines six areas of focus – Fibers, Color, Resources, People, Mapping and Reuse. Some of the highlights of the plan include aiming to have carbon positive U.S. operations, all organic cotton and linens and goal of recycling one million pieces of clothing by 2020. Yet, the brand is also honest about its lofty goals and the pitfalls it may encounter along the way – the EILEEN FISHER website describes it as both "[sensible and scary](http://www.eileenfisher.com/EileenFisher/Behind_the_Label/Vision2020.jsp)."
