Our Ethics and Compliance Program helps ensure our associates have the
guidance and resources needed to operate with the highest standards of
corporate conduct in all of our business dealings globally. The Program
is led by our Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary,
who also serves as our Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. Senior
executives form our Ethics and Compliance Leadership Council, which
focuses on monitoring the effectiveness of our program and providing
guidance and input into Program-related initiatives. VF’s Vice President of
Ethics and Compliance, manages the Program’s day-to-day operations.
Through collaboration with Ethics and Compliance liaisons worldwide –
associates who support our program in addition to their primary
responsibilities – we strive to ensure a collaborative and inclusive
perspective in the way we manage our Program across the globe.
At VF, the diversity of our workforce makes a world of difference.
Our respect for each other’s unique experiences, perspectives and skill
sets is woven throughout the fabric of our culture and guides our
actions.
We encourage our nearly 70,000
associates to bring their authentic selves to work every day, and our
results show it; when we each feel valued for who we are and what we
offer, we give our very best.
