“At Tapestry, we believe that sustainability is a business
imperative. Our actions help us maintain a growing business with a
reliable supply chain, and we know both customers and employees
want to engage with companies whose values align with their own,”
said Joanne Crevoiserat, Chief Executive Officer of Tapestry,
Inc.
The Fabric of Change, Corporate Responsibility
Strategy
Over the last year, Tapestry has continued to work toward a
future that is both beautiful and responsible through its corporate
responsibility strategy, the Fabric of Change. The report
highlights the evolution of the purpose-led framework, which was
introduced last year.
The Fabric of Change is Tapestry’s strategy for meeting the
company’s commitments and goals in four key areas: people, planet,
products and communities. The strategy is grounded in the belief
that every beautiful choice can be a responsible choice.
In FY2023, Tapestry progressed the framework to meet the
changing needs of the business, including the addition of a fourth
pillar, “Create Products with Care.” The new pillar focuses on
advancing material innovation, circularity and making more
responsible finished goods.
Highlights from Tapestry’s report include:
People
- Joined the Inclusion Works coalition of more than 100
Disability:IN corporate partners to further the journey of
understanding and meeting the needs of associates, consumers and
community members with disabilities.
- Expanded the Employee Business Resource Group (EBRG) membership
network by 30% in FY2023. Tapestry’s EBRGs now include six formal
groups and three taskforces, and which serve to bring employee
voices together into the channels where they contribute to all four
pillars of Tapestry’s Equity, Inclusion and Diversity framework –
talent, culture, community and marketplace.
Planet
- Procured renewable energy for 80% of Tapestry’s global retail,
offices and fulfillment centers and advanced efforts toward meeting
the company’s renewable energy goal by entering into a 15-year
Impact Renewable Energy Certificate agreement with Pivot Energy in
Illinois and the launch of the Fashion Pact’s Collective Virtual
Power Purchase Agreement (CVPPA), which commits to accelerating
renewable electricity adoption by investing in new clean energy
infrastructure.
- Announced a new Environmental Sustainability Framework for our
suppliers, which will streamline Tapestry’s sustainability strategy
and provide more direct support to supply chain partners, to help
improve their environmental performance.
Products
- Celebrated the launch of a new sub-brand, Coachtopia, with a
mission to accelerate the transition toward a circular
economy.
- Sourced over 90% of the company's leather from Gold- and
Silver-rated LWG tanneries, achieving our 2025 goal two years ahead
of schedule.
Communities
- Achieved the 2025 goal of donating $75 million in product and
financial contributions globally two years early.
- Completed 82,300 hours of global employee volunteering, a 60%
increase over FY2022 and putting Tapestry over one-third of the way
to the company’s goal of 500,000 hours by 2030.
“Tapestry’s purpose is enduring: we stretch what’s possible
every day, through our values as well as through our business
ambitions,” said Ms. Crevoiserat. “We’ll continue to forge ahead
with this philosophy, driving positive impact in a world that’s
evolving faster than ever.”
