Our value chain includes many people who contribute to the success of our business: Farmers who grow our raw materials. Mill workers who produce our fabrics. Those who sew our clothes, footwear and accessories. Dedicated employees in stores, distribution centers and corporate offices. Millions of consumers around the world. And the people who live and work in the areas where we operate.
Together, they make up our global community. And we are committed to doing what we can to help make sure everyone in the LS&Co. value chain has access to safe and supportive work environments where they can bring their whole selves and experience dignity and respect. This includes fostering a culture that is diverse, equitable and inclusive — in our own operations and those of our suppliers and vendors. And it includes using our voice and our philanthropy to foster well-being, equality and resiliency in ways that consistently put people first.
Our actions and ambitions within this community framework include employee programs for health and safety, wellness and development; diversity, equity and inclusion work; our supply chain standards and Worker Well-being initiatives; our social issue advocacy; and our giving and volunteering programs. Together, these are cornerstones of the “profit through principles” approach that guides our business.
