Ralph Lauren to prioritise supply chain workers

NEW YORK – Ralph Lauren has set out its global sustainability priorities for the next five years under a new strategy called Timeless by Design 2030, with a sharper focus on supply chain worker empowerment, culturally inclusive product design and a shift toward regenerative and recycled cotton.

The framework is built around four pillars, each with a flagship programme. The first, Partner for Impact, commits the company to reducing carbon emissions and water use through strategic partnerships, while expanding what it describes as empowerment and life skills programmes for workers throughout its supply chain.
