Calvin Klein, a wholly-owned subsidiary of PVH Corp., has signed the Women’s Empowerment Principles, a joint initiative of UN Women and the UN Global Compact on the eve of International Women’s Day, comprising a set of seven areas in which businesses can take action to promote gender equality in the workplace, such as establishing high-level corporate leadership for gender equality, respecting and supporting human rights and non-discrimination, and promoting education, training and professional development for women.
Steve Shiffman, CEO, Calvin Klein stated, “It is important for us as a global leader to continue to fight for gender equality across the world, and lead true social change in everything we do. I am committed to building upon the values that Calvin Klein and our parent company PVH Corp. uphold as cornerstones of our corporate culture. Every Calvin Klein associate has the right to realize their full potential at our company, regardless of gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation or background. As a leading global brand, we must use our reach to promote inclusion, diversity and equality as a human standard.”
