West Elm celebrates International Women’s Day

This Women’s History Month—and all year round—we’re proud to stand behind three of IWD’s core missions: to elevate visibility for women at work, champion opportunities for women’s empowerment and bolster women creatives.

We support RISE

As part of our commitment to empowering home furnishings, garment and footwear workers employed in global supply chains, we partner with RISE (Reimagining Industry to Support Equality) to implement training for women employees.

We partner with the Nest™ Ethical Handcraft Program

In 2014, we partnered with Nest—the leading advocate for global artisans and makers—and became the first-ever retailer to use their Seal of Ethical Handcraft on our items. We collaborate with artisans around the world to help create sustainable employment opportunities, especially
for women in rural areas.
