VF brands and their products touch millions of lives every year – from people that design and make apparel and footwear to the consumers who purchase and use them. As with everything we do at VF, we are working to continuously improve and innovate our approach to chemistry, circularity and traceability.

“We want to know the product is sourced ethically. We have to protect all the workers in the supply chain, and also make sure the materials sourcing is sustainable to the environment.”
