Board-level CSR oversight

Following a terrible fire in a Bangladeshi clothing factory in 2013, PVH Corp decided to elevate corporate social responsibility efforts to board-level oversight through the Corporate Responsibility (CR) committee.

Forward Fashion for Good

In 2015, PVH Corp’s CR committee chair led a new direction called Forward Fashion for Good, which encompasses human rights, climate change and environmental impact, and sustainable fashion across the enterprise, including third-party manufacturing sites.

The proposed New York Fashion Sustainability and Social Accountability Act is described as an ambitious supply chain transparency law that will apply to all apparel and footwear companies with over $100 million in global revenues that sell into the New York market.
