PVH is advancing its ESG goals across the supply chain with Standard Chartered’s supplier finance programme (Credit: Shutterstock).

Under the new sustainability-linked facility, PVH’s suppliers will have their day-to-day operations benchmarked against the company’s environmental and sustainability performance metrics. Suppliers who then meet the standards will qualify for discounted financing, explains Standard Chartered.

In addition to environmental targets, PVH’s metrics will encompass social elements, including a healthy and safe working environment, and employment issues, such as forced labour, child labour, and harassment and abuse.
