PVH Forward Fashion

100%

Increase positive impacts to 100%

Fashion has the power to be a positive force in the world. So when we identify areas where we can make a positive impact for our people and planet, we won’t stop halfway.

Our ambition is for 100% of our products and packaging to be ethically and sustainably sourced, and for 100% of our suppliers to respect human rights and be good employers.

We're proud of...

Expanding our migrant labor policy

In 2018, we expanded our migrant labor policy with explicit details regarding fees, contracts, freedom of movement, and dormitories for suppliers.

Shifting toward recyclable packaging

Our packaging is now 74% recyclable and we became the first apparel company to join How2Recycle, a U.S. and Canada-based standardized labeling system that clearly communicates recycling instructions to the public.

Innovating with materials

We are working toward sustainably sourcing 100% of our cotton, have stopped using angora, and were named on the Textile Exchange’s Preferred Fiber Benchmark List of Top Industry Users of Recycled Polyester.

Moving beyond audits to empowerment

How cooperation can tackle complexity and elevate worker voices / Rick Relinger, Senior Director of Human Rights and Operations at PVH, has a firm belief in the power of fashion to be a positive force in the world. “The industry can be a source of inclusive economic growth and decent work, providing opportunities for people in developing countries when companies work to fulfill their responsibility to respect human rights.”
