Forced Labor, Child Labor, and Modern Slavery Statements

Ralph Lauren Corporation and its affiliates and subsidiaries, has built its brand around the consistent production of high-quality products, from apparel and home furnishings to fragrances and accessories, and its commitment to conducting business according to the highest ethical and legal standards.

Our Human Rights Policy outlines our commitment to respect human rights throughout our global operations. We require all suppliers, factories, and contractors to adhere to our Operating Standards which set forth our business, legal, and ethical expectations and standards in the following areas: occupational health and safety, fair wages and benefits, work hours, transparent record-keeping practices, freedom of association, sub-contracting, customs compliance, product safety, conflicts of interest, anti-bribery, environmental sustainability, and prohibitions on child labor, forced labor, prison labor, discrimination, and harassment. In addition to our Operating Standards, our Foreign Migrant Worker Standards mandate ethical recruitment practices, including mandatory local language employment contracts, and the prohibition of worker-paid fees and end of contract travel expenses.

Ralph Lauren Corporation complies with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010, the UK 2015 Modern Slavery Act, the Canadian Fighting Against Forced Labour and Child Labour in Supply Chains Act and the Australian Modern Slavery Act 2018.

Ralph Lauren Corporation requires all of its suppliers to prohibit the hiring of slave labor and prevent practices that could contribute to human trafficking.

To eradicate slavery and human trafficking from our supply chain, we:

1. verify product supply chains using third-party auditors to ensure that our product supply chains are compliant with our Operating Standards and all applicable laws and regulations prohibiting slave labor and human trafficking;
2. conduct independent audits of our suppliers to evaluate their compliance with our Operating Standards and all applicable laws and regulations prohibiting slave labor and human trafficking;
3. require certification by our suppliers that materials incorporated into our products comply with our Operating Standards and all applicable laws and regulations prohibiting slave labor and human trafficking in countries where our suppliers are doing business;
4. maintain internal accountability standards and procedures for employees and contractors failing to meet our Operating Standards prohibiting slave labor and human trafficking; and
5. provide training for our supply chain executives and employees on the prevention of human trafficking and slave labor.

Ralph Lauren Corporation's reputation for product excellence begins in our suppliers' facilities.
