MEMPHIS, TENN (September 9, 2021) - The U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol is pleased to announce the membership of PVH Corp., one of the largest global apparel companies. This membership will help PVH achieve its commitment to sustainably source 100% of its cotton by 2025.

“Joining the Trust Protocol helps us move forward in reaching our sustainability goals and driving continuous improvements in sustainable cotton sourcing for our brands and at scale for the industry,” said Marissa Pagnani McGowan, Chief Sustainability Officer, PVH Corp. “This program will enhance our ability to provide sustainable product offerings to our consumers.” 

“We are proud to welcome PVH as a new member and to help them meet their bold sustainability ambitions as established in their Corporate Responsibility strategy Forward Fashion,” said Dr. Gary Adams, president of the U.S. Cotton Trust Protocol. “In a period of growing demand for verifiably sustainable supply, the Trust Protocol empowers U.S. growers to demonstrate their stewardship and be recognized for the environmental efforts they’ve increasingly undertaken.”
