Nordstrom has grown into a leading fashion retailer that is dedicated to leaving the world better than we found it.
Nordstrom started as a small shoe store in 1901, and while the means and method of shopping may have changed since then, they've remained dedicated to providing their customers the best possible service. To keep in line with changing consumer expectations, Nordstrom has innovated on ways to continue serving their customers and saving the planet while they do. From product circularity to reducing their footprint across climate, waste, and water, the company is focused on their 2025 goals to support systemic, sustainable changes in the fashion industry.
