Respect for our people
Our focus on human rights is fueled by our commitment to work toward the betterment of people and our planet and be a force for good worldwide.
ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿ respects fundamental human rights. We foster inclusive and sustained economic growth and development that offers decent work opportunities to workers throughout our value chain.
Our commitment to respecting human rights applies everywhere we do business, at every level of our company. As we see it, our ability to mitigate social and environmental impacts within our value chain is an obligation. It’s what others expect of us, and what we expect of ourselves.
In FY2020, ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿ conducted our first Human Rights Impact Assessment (HRIA), which sought to identify actual or potential human rights impacts that ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿ may cause, contribute to or be linked to through our direct operations, products, services or business relationships. Understanding where our business may impact rights holders – including ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿ associates, suppliers and supply chain workers – helps to inform our human rights strategy. That strategy in turn guides our assessment of ÂÒÂ×°Íʿ’s ability to mitigate salient risks, while creating a road map for preventing and remediating potential impacts.
Since the initial assessment, we have conducted topic-specific HRIAs focused on raw material commodity sourcing (leather, wool, down, cotton and rubber), child rights and synthetic material sourcing (polyester and nylon). In FY2024, ÂÒÂ×°ÍÊ¿ completed an updated value chain-wide HRIA to reassess our top salient human rights risks.
