PVH Corp. Announces Forward Fashion ? A New Level of Ambition and Transparency for Sustainable Business

PVH Corp. [NYSE:PVH] announces the evolution of its Corporate Responsibility (CR) strategy ? Forward Fashion ? a vision for the future that sets a new level of ambition and transparency; and reinforces its long-standing commitment to sustainable business. Coupled with today's release of PVH's 11th annual CR Report and launch of a dedicated digital hub, Forward Fashion outlines three focus areas that aim to reduce the company's negative impacts to zero, increase positive impacts to 100% and improve over one million lives throughout its value chain. These areas include combatting climate change, addressing waste and hazardous chemicals, ensuring worker safety, and providing development programs to women.

The strategy creates a platform for each of PVH's branded businesses ? CALVIN KLEIN, TOMMY HILFIGER and Heritage Brands ? to further accelerate their consumer-and product-centric sustainability efforts.

"Corporate responsibility has always been fundamental to how we conduct business. Forward Fashion represents a renewed sense of urgency to use the collective power of PVH to achieve transformative change at scale," said Emanuel Chirico, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, PVH Corp. "The challenges and opportunities we face are bigger than PVH, but we are confident Forward Fashion will position us for success over the long-term, leading to more engaged associates, more loyal consumers and, ultimately, a more sustainable and responsible future for the fashion industry."
