CA TRANSPARENCY IN SUPPLY CHAIN AND UK MODERN SLAVERY STATEMENT

PVH Corp. Slavery and Human Trafficking Statement Under the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, UK Modern Slavery Act and Australian Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act

This Statement provides an overview of the efforts that PVH Corp. (together with its subsidiaries, “PVH,” the “Company,” “we,” “us” or “our”) has taken, including during our fiscal year that ended on January 31, 2022, to ensure that forced and involuntary labor is not taking place in our business, including within our supply chain. We have prepared this Statement on a consolidated basis for PVH -- although not all of the entities in our consolidated group are subject to each or any of the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, UK Modern Slavery Act or Australian Commonwealth Modern Slavery Act -- because we have a single compliance program, with one set of policies, relating to forced and involuntary labor. Our compliance program and policies also address child labor risks.

In this Statement, PVH uses “forced and involuntary labor” to refer to slave labor, prison labor, indentured labor, bonded labor, human trafficking, child labor and similar conduct.

COMPANY OVERVIEW

PVH has excelled at growing brands and businesses with rich American heritages, becoming one of the largest apparel companies in the world. We have approximately 31,000 associates operating in over 40 countries and generated over $9.2billion in 2021 revenue. We own the iconic Calvin Klein, TOMMY HILFIGER, Warner’s, and Olga brands and the digital-centric True&Co. brand, and market a variety of goods under these and other nationally and internationally known owned and licensed brands. The foregoing excludes our Heritage Brands business, which we sold in August 2021.

We have an extensive established network of worldwide sourcing partners that enables us to meet our customers’ needs in an efficient manner without relying on any one vendor or factory or on vendors or factories in any one country. Our products were produced in approximately 1,100 factories in approximately 40 countries during fiscal 2021 (February 1, 2020 to January 31, 2021). We source finished products and, to a limited extent, raw materials and trim. Raw materials and trim include fabric, buttons, thread, labels and similar components. Finished products consist of manufactured and fully assembled products ready for shipment to our customers and our stores (apparel, footwear, accessories and related products). Raw material, trim, and finished product commitments are generally made two to six months prior to production. Our supply chain is constantly evolving, both at the manufacturer and country level. Please visit our factory list for details about business partners from whom we source and their location.

At PVH, Corporate Responsibility (“CR”) has always been central to how we conduct business and plays a critical role in our strategy. We recognize we have an opportunity to play a leading role in advancing sustainable development and supporting human rights. Through our CR strategy, Forward Fashion, we have set a high standard of ambition and transparency for sustainable business at PVH. We do this because resources are limited and, for us, human rights are non-negotiable. Please visit responsibility.pvh.com to read about Forward Fashion and our CR programming, and to access our 2021 and prior years’ Annual CR Reports.

ALIGNMENT WITH INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS; PVH POLICIES

The requirements for doing business with PVH are based, in part, on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Core Conventions, and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as well as other third-party standards, such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector, frameworks and codes of conduct, some of which are discussed in this Statement. We communicate our standards and requirements to our business partners in our supply chain through the following:

• A Shared Commitment, our code of conduct for all of our business partners, a copy of which is provided to each of them at the outset of our relationship. First introduced in 1991, A Shared Commitment prohibits forced and involuntary labor and child labor, and more generally requires our business partners to comply with ILO standards.
• CR Supply Chain Guidelines, which are provided to both suppliers and licensees during our onboarding process. The CR Supply Chain Guidelines provide guidance to our suppliers and licensees on how to comply with all elements of A Shared Commitment, including the prohibitions on forced and involuntary labor and child labor.

Specifically, our Migrant Worker Policy, which is part of the CR Supply Chain Guidelines, requires suppliers and licensees to comply with a “no fees” (i.e., employer pays) policy, and ensure that migrant workers are not responsible for paying fees or expenses to secure or maintain employment with the factory at any point during the employment cycle. Additionally, our Migrant Worker Policy provides more detailed guidance to suppliers and licensees on the requirements for the responsible recruitment of migrant workers and how to address comprehensively and in a sustainable manner the risks of forced and involuntary labor. In support of our Migrant Worker Policy, we developed materials and practical tools to help suppliers improve their management and recruitment systems relating to migrant workers. These materials also are used in our supplier trainings in high-risk jurisdictions.

• Our Branded Merchandise Policy requires suppliers and licensees to certify that materials used in the manufacture of our products are free from the use of slave labor and human trafficking.

Additionally, PVH has signed the Uzbek Cotton Pledge and the Turkmen Cotton Pledge led by the Responsible Sourcing Network, committing not to knowingly source cotton from these countries. PVH is also one of the signatories to the AAFA/FLA Apparel & Footwear Industry Commitment to Responsible Recruitment aiming to address forced labor risks for migrant workers. Lastly, we believe that we are in compliance with all applicable regulations and laws in all material respects.

VERIFICATION OF PRODUCT SUPPLY CHAINS TO EVALUATE, MONITOR AND ADDRESS RISKS OF FORCED AND INVOLUNTARY LABOR

We evaluate, monitor and address the risks of forced and involuntary labor in our industry and supply chain in several ways. We believe that forced and involuntary labor risks in our own workforce are minimal due to the strength of our internal employment policies and procedures. Forced and involuntary labor risks in the apparel industry for companies like ours are most prevalent at upper-tier suppliers with which we do not have direct relationships, in jurisdictions with weaker protection of workers’ rights and where migrant labor is used.

Evaluation

We participate in multi-stakeholder initiatives that help us to evaluate and address the risk of forced and involuntary labor in our industry and supply chains. PVH is a member of several industry associations and programs dedicated to protecting workers’ rights, including the prevention of forced and involuntary labor, such as the Responsible Labor Initiative (RLI), American Apparel & Footwear Association, the International Safety Accord, the United States Council for International Business, and the Better Work Programme. PVH was the first apparel sector member to join the RLI, and was a member of the RLI Steering Committee in 2021, providing strategic direction to the organization as it works to ensure that the rights of workers vulnerable to forced labor in global supply chains are consistently respected and promoted.

We also consult third-party resources and databases, engage in other research, utilize consultants and work with members of civil society to evaluate forced and involuntary labor risks.

PVH provides transparency concerning our efforts to evaluate, monitor and address the risks of forced and involuntary labor through reporting, survey responses, meetings with stakeholders and other means.

Monitoring/Addressing Risks

We continually monitor compliance with our CR requirements, including the prohibitions against forced and involuntary labor, and promptly address identified risks or violations. We conduct pre-sourcing assessments at all Level 1 factories before they are allowed to produce any products for us. We also conduct pre-sourcing assessments at certain key Level 2 factories. In addition, we conduct regular audits at all Level 1 and key Level 2 factories once production begins, work closely with factories to remediate any identified deficiencies and, when necessary, terminate supplier factories that fail to comply with our policies, procedures or guidelines.

PVH is committed to building a transparent and traceable value chain, from Farm to Factory, supported by document verification, auditing, and testing programs.

Certifications: At the beginning or renewal of a relationship, suppliers and licensees are required to acknowledge A Shared Commitment and agree to implement its requirements. PVH’s Branded Merchandise Policy also requires that direct suppliers certify that materials incorporated into PVH products, whether acquired directly or indirectly, are from a source that does not use forced or involuntary labor.

Factory Audits: Audits are conducted by reputable third party auditors, typically every twelve to 24 months. Several factors, including the results of the previous audit, dictate audit frequency. Audits are usually scheduled in advance with the suppliers, in order to foster a relationship of trust and cooperation, but unannounced audits are also conducted.

Audits are guided by the Social Labor Convergence Project (SLCP), an industry-wide data collection tool that aims to create an efficient and sustainable solution for social audits, with a goal of alleviating audit fatigue for our suppliers. The SLCP includes specific metrics relating to forced and involuntary labor. In addition, as part of the audit, we seek workers’ views in confidence, so that we can hear, first-hand, about factory conditions. We also monitor conditions at factories through assessments by independent organizations, such as the Better Work Programme.

Given the challenges posed by recruitment systems, migrant workers can be disproportionately vulnerable to forced and involuntary labor. For this reason, PVH has worked with an external partner to identify high-risk jurisdictions for migrant labor. The identified jurisdictions are located primarily in East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Africa. To further enhance our monitoring capability relating to forced and involuntary labor risks, we utilize a supplementary assessment tool as part of the factory audit for supplier and licensee factories in high-risk jurisdictions that is focused on recruitment practices and treatment of migrant labor. In parallel with these efforts, we have deepened our engagement with suppliers on the payment of recruitment fees and other migrant labor issues.

Remediation: PVH’s audit program encourages our business partners to assume greater responsibility for their labor practices, and general compliance around employment and worker issues, by providing the opportunity for suppliers to remediate most identified issues. We believe that remediation best serves the interests of workers by enabling the supplier to develop safe, compliant and respectful workplaces. Continuous engagement with suppliers on their progress in addressing forced and involuntary labor risks helps us ensure the effectiveness of our program.

We also reward those business partners that adopt and implement our standards and policies with continued business.

Termination: PVH views termination as a remedy of last resort, given the harm to workers that can result. We, therefore, first seek to remediate issues through direct engagement with the supplier or factory or, where structural in nature, in conjunction with civil society, industry organizations and/or governmental authorities. We generally will terminate a relationship with a supplier or factory only if (i) it fails to remediate issues uncovered by an audit, or (ii) we identify what we would consider an egregious violation of our policies or guidelines, and remediation is not appropriate or feasible (e.g., child or forced labor).

INTERNAL ACCOUNTABILITY & TRAINING

To ensure the effectiveness of our efforts to eliminate forced and involuntary labor, we hold ourselves accountable through a robust governance structure, clearly established roles and responsibilities.

Our Senior Management Team, led by our CEO, has established and upholds our vision and has final accountability for the implementation of CR programs, including our management of human rights practices across our value chain. The CR Committee of the PVH Board of Directors provides support and guidance to our Senior Management Team and reports to the broader Board of Directors with respect to our CR policies and strategies. The CR Committee, which consists of three independent directors, meets four times a year to monitor our CR performance and progress across social and human rights-focused key performance indicators (KPIs) that are established annually to advance the program’s commitments. Meetings include updates on current issues, program updates, and discussion and committee approvals of any strategy updates or new partnerships/initiatives.

We have established clear lines of accountability for CR throughout PVH, from the subject matter experts on the CR team through to our CEO, via our Chief Sustainability Officer. Our CR team is composed of over 50 associates located in 10 countries across Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas, who work closely with our business units and global supply teams to further align our CR goals, as well as implement on-the-ground assessments, remediation and capability-building programs in supplier regions. Our CR team is also responsible for internal and external reporting on CR, including through our annual CR Report.

All PVH associates are required to complete compliance and ethics training, which includes the review and certification of our core policies, upon hire and annually thereafter. The Company may take disciplinary action against any associate who violates any of our policies, guidelines or otherwise fails to uphold our moral, legal or ethical standards.

Members of our CR team and other PVH associates attend external training programs and seminars on social compliance issues, including forced and involuntary labor. We also have a reporting hotline (available online and by telephone) for associates and workers at factories in our supply chain, so that they may report potential legal, regulatory, or policy violations and other ethical concerns. Grievances can be submitted anonymously and confidentially to the extent allowed under applicable law.

External Training

To ensure that 100% of migrant workers in our Level 1 and key Level 2 supplier facilities do not pay recruitment fees all suppliers and licensees in high-risk jurisdictions are required to complete a set of modules and quizzes hosted on the RLI e-learning platform on forced labor and recruitment of foreign migrant workers. We also require that all new factories that are on-boarded in high-risk jurisdictions complete the suite of trainings on forced labor on the RLI e-learning platform.

Our CR team and other PVH associates also participate as speakers in other external training programs and seminars on forced and involuntary labor, to increase awareness and encourage the adoption of best practices to address these issues.

ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OUR ACTIONS

We track a number of KPIs to measure the effectiveness of our actions to assess and address forced and involuntary labor risks. Among other things, we track audit findings and any grievances submitted through our grievance mechanisms. We further track both the number and nature of findings and grievances. We also track the remediation of any identified issues.

In addition, we track our suppliers’ compliance with our training requirements to ensure 100% completion.
