At VF, integrity never goes out of fashion.

While we are proud of our status as the world's largest apparel company, we take our global success seriously. In fact, we see it as a direct result of the values we embrace - as a company and as people. Values like honesty and integrity. Consideration and respect. For us, these are more than words. They are embedded in our work and form an integral part of our daily operations.

For example, all VF Authorized factories are required to follow our Global Compliance Principles (GCP), whether they are operated by us directly or by our suppliers and vendors. Established in 1997 and consistent with internationally recognized labor standards, GCP requirements insure that work environments are safe and responsibly managed. In addition, we require that our owned facilities be certified by Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP), an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to ethical manufacturing throughout the world.

We are committed to diversity, both in the workplace and in the suppliers we partner with. A deep respect for the individual underlies our natural acceptance of diverse backgrounds, cultures, preferences and ideas.

And through a wide range of programs around the world - from fundraising for cancer research to ongoing sustainability initiatives - we make our values known to the hundreds of communities in which we operate.

These are the hallmarks of our commitment to corporate responsibility - for ourselves, our suppliers and our consumers.
