PVH Corporation, an American clothing company, has been honoured with the Sustainability Award at the 21st edition of Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards held recently in New York City, USA. American actress Brooke Shields presented the award to Emanuel Chirico, Chairman & CEO, PVH.
While giving away the award, Brooke wittily said, “Do you know what comes between PVH and sustainability? Nothing!” She believes that if a company like PVH, which has its reach across the globe, puts sustainability at the top of its priority list, the positive impact of their efforts is looked upon all around the world.
PVH won the award for its successful sustainability initiatives and commitment to positively impact people, the environment and communities. In December last year, the company had signed the UN Global Compact to recognise business’ ability to lead the change in apparel industry on sustainability agenda. The brand also became a member of CEO Water Mandate to ensure responsible use of water.
Additionally, PVH had signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles, a partnership initiative of UN Women, to address gender equality, eliminate discrimination, and to ensure education, training and professional development for women.
“PVH recognizes its responsibility to address the impacts our industry has on social and environmental fronts. We strive to maintain a sustainable future for the world,” averred Emanuel.
