SUSTAINABILITY

Fashion can play a meaningful role in shaping a more responsible future. Our approach centers on reducing environmental impact, improving social outcomes, and encouraging greater awareness throughout the journey from raw materials to finished products. We believe progress requires consistent action, practical innovation, and a willingness to examine how products are designed, sourced, manufactured, and delivered.

Our sustainability strategy is guided by three connected priorities: protecting natural resources, addressing climate impact, and supporting the people involved throughout the value chain. These areas help us focus our efforts while creating measurable opportunities for improvement. They also reflect the understanding that environmental responsibility and social responsibility cannot be separated when building a more thoughtful fashion industry.

Protecting the planet begins with examining the resources required to create each product. We work to reduce unnecessary material use, limit waste, improve production practices, and encourage safer approaches to chemicals and manufacturing. Water consumption, energy use, emissions, waste generation, and the handling of potentially harmful materials are important considerations across our operations and supply relationships. By looking for cleaner inputs and more responsible outputs, we aim to reduce the environmental footprint associated with our products.

Climate action is another important part of our long-term direction. Reducing greenhouse gas emissions requires changes across product development, material selection, manufacturing, transportation, and other business activities. Our climate efforts focus on lowering emissions over time while supporting a broader transition toward a lower-impact future. We recognize that meaningful climate progress requires long-term planning rather than isolated actions, and we continue to evaluate opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce emissions throughout our value chain.

The people behind our products are equally important. We believe responsible business practices should support safer workplaces, fair treatment, improved livelihoods, and greater opportunities for workers and communities. Our social responsibility efforts include engagement with manufacturing partners and initiatives designed to encourage better working conditions and stronger labor practices. We also support efforts that address wider social and environmental challenges, recognizing that lasting progress often depends on collaboration between businesses, workers, communities, and other organizations.

Transparency remains an important part of how we approach these goals. We believe customers should be able to learn more about the decisions and processes behind the products they purchase. This includes sharing information about factories, materials, climate initiatives, and other areas of our sustainability work. Making complex topics easier to understand can help people engage with the challenges facing the fashion industry without requiring specialized knowledge.

Our manufacturing relationships are an important part of this effort. We work to build stronger partnerships with facilities and suppliers while encouraging responsible practices and continuous improvement. Understanding where and how products are made allows us to identify opportunities for progress and maintain greater visibility across the supply chain. Responsible manufacturing involves more than meeting minimum expectations; it also requires ongoing attention to workplace conditions, environmental practices, and long-term improvements.

Material choices can also influence the overall impact of a product. We continue to examine the fibers, fabrics, and other components used in our collections and explore alternatives that may offer improved environmental or social outcomes. Better material decisions involve considering durability, sourcing, processing, resource use, and the broader life cycle of a product. While no single material or solution is perfect, thoughtful selection can contribute to meaningful improvement over time.

We view sustainability as a continuing process rather than a finished destination. Progress may involve successes, challenges, and areas where additional work is needed. Measuring results and reviewing our performance helps us understand what is working and where greater attention should be directed. Our ongoing reporting and sustainability initiatives are intended to provide greater visibility into these efforts while supporting accountability for future goals.

Collaboration also plays a valuable role in advancing responsible practices. Partnerships with industry organizations, specialists, and other groups can provide knowledge, standards, and new perspectives that help strengthen environmental and social programs. Recognition, certifications, and external assessments can offer additional ways to evaluate progress, although we believe meaningful action must remain the foundation of long-term improvement.

Our broader purpose is to help create products and experiences that support everyday life while placing less pressure on the planet. Achieving that goal requires continued effort across every part of the business. From cleaner production and climate action to responsible sourcing and stronger social practices, we are committed to pursuing practical changes that can contribute to a better future.

We do not expect transformation to happen overnight. The fashion industry faces complex environmental and social challenges that require persistence, transparency, innovation, and cooperation. By continuing to learn, improve, and share our progress, we aim to support a more responsible approach to fashion—one that considers both the products people wear and the wider world in which those products are made.
