Our Commitment to Sustainable Fashion

For Everyone.

Forever.

We push culture and fashion forward through progressive design and progressive values. Our approach to sustainability is no different. We are dedicated to reducing our impact on the planet while improving the lives of our communities and associates everywhere.

As part of PVH Corp., we are working towards our Forward Fashion targets. That means reducing our negative impacts to zero, increasing our positive impacts to 100% and improving over one million lives in our value chain.

For Everyone

Our timeless style is beyond body, gender and identity. Our campaigns and partnerships are inspired by a new era of radical inclusivity.

We’re focused on equity at every level. Our retail programs promote healthy work environments and offer growth opportunities for all associates. We invest in education and skills development to enrich the lives of our garment creators. We produce our clothes around the world, and are committed to continually improving the lives of workers in our factories, their families and their communities. By partnering with and financially contributing to organizations like ILGA World, we are supporting human rights defenders in their on-the-ground engagement with countries with anti-LGBTQIA+ legislation as they drive meaningful change around the world. Our corporate office initiatives support diverse employee groups and local communities. As we continue to expand these programs, we push fashion forward.

Pride Every Day

Working with partners like Transgender Law Center, ILGA World, BlaQ Aboriginal Corporation and more, we’re committed to year-round support for LGBTQIA+ advocacy, equity and safety. In 2022, we donated $400,000 to support NGOs doing critical work for LGBTQIA+ communities around the world.

Empowering Equity

Through trainings and skills development, we are empowering our associates and individuals across our supply chain. We’ve partnered with PFLAG National to scale gender inclusion trainings to associates enterprise wide. And by 2030, professional and life skills development programs will be made available to 500,000 women across the PVH supply chain.

Beyond Boundaries

We apply our iconic design principles to encourage freedom, fluidity and confidence. Our collections are growing to bring comfort to a full spectrum of identities and experiences.

For The Future

Comfort redefined with recycled cashmere. Style reimagined with responsibly-sourced materials.

We’re recreating our iconic designs with more environmentally-preferred materials – aiming to reach 100% sustainable cotton, viscose and wool by 2025 and 100% sustainable polyester by 2030. And we’re eliminating plastic waste from our business by 2030, starting with our packaging.

More Environmentally-Preferred Materials

We're consciously selecting materials made from recycled fibers and organic fibers, moving us toward our goal of 100% sustainable cotton, viscose and wool by 2025 and 100% sustainable polyester by 2030. In 2022, we increased the use of environmentally-preferred materials to comprise 32.6% of the brand’s global materials footprint, up from 22% in 2020.

Low Impact Denim

We’re creating jeans with more sustainable materials such recycled and organic cotton, as well as lower impact techniques that use less water, energy or chemicals than industry standards. In 2022, we launched Earth Colors – earth-toned pigments partially derived from agricultural waste, as an alternative to traditional synthetic options.

Plastic-Free Packaging

Globally, we’re ending single-use plastic in all our packaging and eliminating unnecessary waste by 2030. To reduce our footprint, we successfully transitioned men’s underwear boxes from plastic to paper composed of at least 50% recycled content for all of North America. This eliminated the usage of 650,000 pounds of plastic from on-product packaging, equivalent to over 31 million standard-size plastic water bottles.
