UZBEKISTAN COTTON POLICY

烏茲別克斯坦棉花政策

WHAT DOSE IT MEAN?

In September 2011, PVH made an ongoing public commitment through the responsible Sourcing network, to not knowingly source cotton from uzbekistan in effort to stop the use of child labor and forced labor in the country’s cotton fields PVH requires that its suppliers (mills and factories) also adhere to this commitment by not using uzbekistan cotton in any product produced for PVH brands- Calvin Klein, tommy Hilfiger, Van Heusen, izod, arrow, Speedo, olga and Warner’s PVH along with more than 60 US and european brands have committed to maintain the pledge until the elimination of these practices in the cotton industry of uzbekistan is verified by the international labour organization

WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?

As we continue our pledge to ban uzbekistan cotton from our products, PVH mandates that our business partners act responsibly and ensure that the origin of their cotton is sourced outside of the country of Uzbekistan. We understand that the cotton supply chain is complex and that tracing the origin of cotton in finished products is very difficult However, we are asking our suppliers to make their best efforts to trace their cotton sources and ensure that uzbek cotton is not used in any PVH product.

PVH will investigate thoroughly any allegations of uzbekistan usage in our products Confirmed use of uzbekistan cotton in any of our products will have a serious impact on the business relationship and may lead to termination of the business relationship.

PVH is committed to maintaining a supply chain that is free of both child labor and forced labor.
