# Bloomingdale's Sustainability Info (Women's Dresses) Field Guide

> Is brand or product sustainable/eco-conscious? How?. Max character limit of 254 characters (including spaces).

**Sustainability Info** is an optional feature bullet on Bloomingdale's Marketplace for the women's dresses department. It answers one question for the shopper: is this dress, or the brand behind it, made in a way that can be verified as sustainable, and how? Bloomingdale's builds the on-site bullets from this value, so whatever you write appears on the product page next to the fabric, closure and fit bullets.

The bar is proof. A dress with a named certification, a recycled fiber percentage or a substantiated vegan claim gets a value. A dress described only as "eco-friendly" gets nothing, and an empty field is the correct result.

## The rules

| Rule | Detail |
| --- | --- |
| Required | No. Leave it blank when there is no substantiated claim |
| Level | Parent. One value per style, shared by every colorway and size |
| Length | 254 characters at most, including spaces |
| Form | One phrase, no trailing period |
| Allowed content | A certification with its number, a recycled percentage by weight, or a vegan claim that names the fiber |
| Never | General claims such as "sustainable", "eco-conscious" or "green" with no specific attribute behind them |

Claims that qualify:

| Type of claim | How to write it |
| --- | --- |
| Certification | Name the standard and include the certificate number, for example "MADE IN GREEN by OEKO-TEX M1KN94G92 Hohenstein" or "GOTS certified organic cotton" |
| Recycled content | Give the fiber and the percentage by weight, for example "Polyester (45% recycled)" |
| Vegan | Say vegan and name the fiber or material that replaces the animal-derived one |

## Examples

| Value | Verdict | Reason |
| --- | --- | --- |
| GOTS certified organic cotton | Good | Named standard, verifiable |
| Viscose (100% LENZING ECOVERO fibers) | Good | Names the certified fiber and share |
| Recycled polyester (70% recycled) | Good | Fiber and percentage by weight |
| Vegan satin made from recycled polyester | Good | Vegan claim with the fiber named |
| Made with love for the planet | Weak | No verifiable attribute |
| Sustainable fabric | Weak | General claim, not allowed |
| Eco-friendly dye in the green colorway | Weak | Describes one colorway; the bullet covers the whole style |
| Certified organic. | Weak | No standard named, and a trailing period |

## Common mistakes

- Repeating the brand's mission statement. The field wants a checkable attribute of the product, not a sentiment.
- Writing "organic" without the certifying body. Name the standard.
- Putting the fiber composition here. That belongs in [Product Material](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields/fabric-content); this field adds the sustainability attribute of that fiber.
- Filling it because it is on the form. Blank is right for most dresses.

## How Osello fills this field

Osello fills Sustainability Info once per parent listing for women's dresses, reading the product description first, then the attributes, then the images. It writes a value only when the source data carries a substantiated claim: a certification with its number, a recycled percentage by weight, or a vegan claim with the fiber named. General claims are dropped, and when the source has nothing that qualifies the field stays blank rather than being padded. The result is one phrase under 254 characters with no trailing period, shared by every colorway and size of the dress. See [how Osello AI fills listing fields](/help/ai-prompts/how-osello-ai-fills-listing-fields) and the [Bloomingdale's field directory](/marketplaces/bloomingdales/fields) for the neighboring bullets.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is Sustainability Info required for women's dresses on Bloomingdale's?

No. It is optional and should stay empty unless you can point to a certification, a recycled percentage or a named vegan material.

### Can I write "eco-friendly" or "sustainably made"?

No. General claims with no specific attribute are not allowed in this field. Name the standard, the percentage or the fiber, or leave the field blank.

### Do I need the certificate number?

Include it when the certification issues one, as OEKO-TEX does. Without the number the claim is harder to verify, and the number costs a few characters.

### Should the fiber percentages from the care label go here?

No. Fiber composition belongs in Product Material. Use this field only for the part of the composition that is recycled, certified or vegan.
