DENVER – VF Corporation, which owns brands including The North Face, Vans and Timberland, has launched a new feature which enables consumers to track the supply chains of some of its most popular products.
The Traceability Maps feature, available via the VF Corp website, features global maps showing how – and where – more than 100 products are produced, including the Timberland Waterproof Boot, the Jansport Big Student Backpack and The North Face ThermoBall Eco Hoodie.
It provides information on where the raw materials are grown, extracted and sourced, how these materials are processed, and the impacts they have on the environment and the people who live in the local communities.
