PVH Sustainability Actions

Set a net zero direction

PVH says it is committed to the environment and has a goal to reach net zero, which means cutting emissions as far as possible and balancing the rest. It links this to preserving resources and nature. The company also says it works on human rights in its supply chain and on inclusion and belonging for workers and communities. This shows a broad corporate responsibility approach, but the public detail in the source is high level rather than a full progress report.

Built supplier climate finance

PVH launched a supply chain financing program that gives suppliers better loan rates if they perform well on environmental and social measures. The program is tied to supplier climate goals and uses checks based on industry tools such as the Higg Facility Environmental Module (a factory environmental scorecard) and the Social & Labor Convergence Program. The company said this was meant to push suppliers toward lower emissions and better working conditions.

Expanded climate risk analysis

PVH carried out its first climate-risk scenario analysis and improved its carbon accounting, which means it tried to measure emissions and climate risks more carefully. A third-party article said this helped the company understand risks across its operations and estimate emissions cuts more accurately. The same source said Scope 3 emissions, which are indirect emissions from the supply chain, made up 97% of PVH’s total greenhouse gas footprint in 2022.

Trained designers on circularity

PVH said it trained more than 800 design professionals around the world on its Circular Design Framework. Circular design means making products with longer life, less waste, and better options for reuse or recycling. The company said the training covered material efficiency, durability, and end-of-life planning. This suggests PVH is trying to build sustainability into product design instead of only fixing problems later in the supply chain.

Increased preferred materials

PVH reported that 56% of the materials it used were environmentally preferred in the year covered by the third-party article, up from 44% the year before. It also said 69% of cotton, 38% of polyester, 15% of viscose, and 13% of wool met its preferred-material framework. The company said it is trying to move away from conventional cotton and virgin polyester and use more lower-impact options such as hemp.

Advanced recycling projects

PVH worked on textile recycling projects using reclaimed fibers, yarns, and fabrics from its supply chain. The company was linked to technologies from Infinited Fiber Company, which turns cellulosic waste into new fibers, and it also worked with Renewcell and the Ellen MacArthur Foundation on textile-to-textile recycling. A third-party source said these efforts helped PVH develop 43,000 garments and that Tommy Hilfiger introduced shirts made from upcycled materials.

Cut water and chemical impacts

PVH said it reached its water-use and environmental health goals in sourcing areas three years ahead of schedule. It also said it was working to stop hazardous chemicals and microfibers from leaving wet processing facilities, with a target to reach 100% by 2025. Wet processing is the part of textile production that uses water, dyes, and finishing chemicals, so this area can have a big environmental impact.
