VF Corporation Government Affairs and Political Activity

VF Corporation (“VF” or the “Company”) deploys government affairs strategies to help shape public policy issues that benefit our Company, industry, and the consumers and communities we serve. We believe it’s important for companies like ours to participate in political and regulatory processes so that our voice and positions are heard and understood by governments and policy makers around the world.

Our Government Affairs function maintains ongoing dialogue with public officials and their staff across all levels of government – national, regional, and local. VF’s strategies and actions are guided by the Company’s business interests and values and are conducted without regard to the private political preferences of its leadership team. All government engagements and political activities are aligned with our legal obligations, our Values, and our Code of Business Conduct.

Government Affairs at VF focuses on policy priorities that are connected to issues relevant to our business landscape such as free trade, human rights, outdoor recreation, conservation and climate impact.

Our Chief Operating Officer, a direct report of VF’s President and Chief Executive Officer, has overall responsibility for government affairs activities. Members of VF’s senior leadership team receive periodic updates from subject matter experts on VF’s government affairs strategy and activities.

VF’s Government Affairs and Political Activity compliance program includes policies and training to facilitate compliance with legal reporting requirements, directives on political spending, public disclosure obligations, and risk-based third-party due diligence procedures.

Relevant departments, functions, and individuals across VF receive Government Affairs and Political Activity training. The training provides guidance and resources on corporate and personal political activity, lobbying, gifts, travel and entertainment to government/covered officials, and involvement in trade and industry organizations.

POLITICAL ACTIVITY

VF’s political activity and lobbying are conducted in accordance with applicable laws, policies and procedures, sound corporate practice and our high standards of ethical conduct.

At times, VF employs lobbyists and retains external lobbying firms to advance our key priorities. All VF registered lobbyists file quarterly or semi-annual activity reports with the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives, Secretary of the U.S. Senate, and with required state offices when applicable thresholds have been met.  Additionally, all lobbying activity in the U.S. conducted by VF employees is logged through an internal compliance database.

Principles governing our approach to political expenditure include the following:

• VF does not endorse or make campaign contributions to federal, state, or local candidates.
• VF does not make contributions in support of or in opposition to ballot initiatives.
• VF does not participate in electioneering communication to our employees or anyone outside the Company.
• VF does not have a political action committee (PAC).
• VF works with various third parties – such as trade associations, coalitions, civil society initiatives, and international organizations – to communicate and advance our positions on key issues. VF periodically reviews the work performed by our trade associations and industry groups to ensure continued alignment with our interests, business strategies, and commitments.
