TABLE OF CONTENTS Executive Summary 4 Introduction: Forced Labor Risks in Apparel and Footwear 8 Supply Chains Key Findings 14 Findings by Theme and Recommendations for Company Action 30 Commitment and Governance 32 Traceability and Risk Assessment 35 Purchasing Practices 39 Recruitment 43 Worker Voice 46 Monitoring 51 Remedy 54 Commitments and Compliance with Regulatory Transparency Requirements 57 Considerations for Investor Action 60 Appendix 1: Company Selection 63 Appendix 2: Benchmark Methodology, Methodology Changes, and Scoring 67 About KnowTheChain 79 Executive Summary EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Today, it is estimated that 60-75 million people are employed in the textile, clothing, and footwear sector around the world, more than two-thirds of whom are women.1 A US$3 trillion industry,2 the apparel and footwear sector is characterized by globally complex and opaque supply chains and competition for low prices and quick turnarounds. As precarious employment increases, vulnerable workers, including women and migrant workers, are hit the hardest. Workers in the sector are likely to become even more vulnerable as migration flows continue to grow rapidly.3 The apparel and footwear sector is increasingly reliant on migrant workers. As such, it is crucial that companies have the right policies and processes in place to address the dynamic nature of forced labor risks in their supply chains, including the risks to migrant workers. 1 Clean Clothes Campaign (2015), “General Factsheet Garment Industry February 2015.” Accessed 22 October 2018.

We explore this question in relation to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), a class of persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic chemicals that are widely used in consumer products and industrial processes yet remain largely understudied and weakly regulated. This paper focuses on the strengths and limitations of one high- profile shame campaign by Greenpeace that has called for clothing and outdoor brands to eliminate PFAS from their products. We find that while the campaign appears to have spurred widespread awareness of PFAS in the apparel industry, corporate action remains fragmented and leaves broader environmental and social justice concerns unaddressed. We highlight the urgent need for comprehensive federal regulation for toxic chemicals, increased funding for green chemistry, and collaborative governance of global production networks. 1Northeastern University, Boston, MA, USA 2Department of Sociology, Whitman College, Walla Walla, WA, USA Corresponding Author: Elicia Mayuri Cousins, Northeastern University, 360 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115, USA.

  • Tommy Hilfiger Creates More Circular Footwear Using Apple Skin Technology
    TOMMY HILFIGER CREATES MORE CIRCULAR FOOTWEAR USING APPLE SKIN TECHNOLOGY AMSTERDAM, THE NETHERLANDS (JANUARY 2019) – Tommy Hilfiger, which is owned by PVH Corp. [NYSE: PVH], announces two footwear styles have been designed using recycled apple skin fiber – a bio-based leather alternative derived from the apple farming industry’s waste. Available in in white and navy colorways, the styles for men and women feature 24% recycled apple fibers on the upper. Available as part of the Spring 2020 collection, the integration of apple skin fiber as a leather alternative builds on the brand’s ongoing journey to create fashion that opens minds and closes loops. The Spring 2020 apple skin fiber footwear options will be available on tommy.com and in select TOMMY HILFIGER stores and wholesale locations globally starting mid-February 2020. The apple skin technology stems from the Tyrol region of northern Italy, an area known for its apple farming. Recognizing the opportunities offered by Tyrol’s booming apple production, Frumat – an Italian start-up – developed a new raw material that addresses both the waste issue and the fashion industry’s increasing demand for ecological leather alternatives. The Spring 2020 TOMMY HILFIGER footwear styles utilize a sturdy and thick, recycled apple skin fiber with a lower environmental impact than other vegan leather alternatives, which typically contain high amounts of fossil-based materials. TOMMY HILFIGER is on a mission to create fashion that welcomes all and wastes nothing. As part of this journey, the company has set ambitious targets and joined forces with industry partners to move the needle.
