At VF, we say that environmental waste is financial waste.
We know that our actions to reduce environmental impacts
are not only good for the planet, but also for our company’s
financial health. Since 2009, our global energy efficiency
efforts have saved VF $20 million. That’s money we invest
back into our business.
As one of VF’s five global business platforms, sustainability
contributes to the company’s growth through the development
of sustainable products, by connecting more deeply with
globally conscious consumers, and by generating cost savings
across our operations – all resulting in enhanced valuation
and reputation. For us, sustainability is serious business.
As we continue our journey, we will maintain open dialogue
with diverse stakeholder groups and partner with them to
get things done. We’re a better organization when we engage
with third parties – not only because we have a lot to offer,
but because we are dedicated to improving and learning.
— Letitia Webster, Senior Director, Corporate Sustainability
