At AG, we believe in leaving everything better than we found it.

For a long time, our process was simple: cotton was woven into denim, and that denim was hand-crafted into someone’s favorite pair of jeans. But over time, we began to ask ourselves—could a pair of jeans not only look great, but also help reduce waste? That question sparked more than curiosity. It inspired our commitment to creating sustainable denim, crafted with care, driven by purpose, and guided by a vision for the future.

A one-time capsule collection wasn’t enough—we wanted to pursue sustainability in a truly sustainable way.

Every initiative we’ve taken on is part of a long-term approach. Through our initiatives, we've implemented thoughtful, measurable changes across our supply chain to reduce our footprint and enhance environmental stewardship.

Sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a core pillar of who we are.

Thoughtful Consumption:
Buying quality that lasts is the most sustainable thing you can do. 
.
Investing in wardrobe pieces that go beyond fashion trends is a reflection of thoughtful consumption. It says you choose quality over quantity and are dressing with purpose. By choosing well-made denim, you’re taking part in something bigger: conserving resources, reducing waste, and supporting more responsible sourcing.

Solar panels are installed

Solar panels were installed throughout the rooftops and parking areas our our LA factory and headquarters. These panels provide up to 30% of clean, renewable energy.

2017

Upgraded Lasers

Laser technology was further refined to enhance efficiency and accelerate production

2019

Water recycling systems

Two state-of-the-art water filtration systems were installed in our Los Angeles and Mexico factories to remove impurities and harmful substances, allowing the water to be treated and reused, significantly reducing our overall water consumption. We have recycled over 50 million gallons of water, but our goal is to continue to improve on this effort, not only internally, but with partners who share our vision for the future.
