INTRODUCTION (1 OF 2)

VISIONPVH Corp. is committed to using safer substances in the materials used to manufacture our products and within the manufacturing processes to protect consumers, workers,

sourcing communities, and the natural environment.

BACKGROUNDThe PVH Restricted Substance List (RSL) applies to all products for PVH brands including, but not limited to: apparel, components, footwear, packaging, trims, home goods and

accessories. The chemical substances listed within this document have been banned, restricted, or are being phased out due to either government legislation or PVH’s position

that the chemicals or materials pose environmental, health, or safety risks. Going forward, PVH will be updating the RSL annually to ensure chemical substances and

restrictions are up to date. Supply chain partners must ensure that all products, components, or materials supplied to PVH and/or any processes used to produce products,

components, or materials comply with the most current PVH RSL.

PVH recognizes the importance of industry collaboration in order to meet its commitment and reduce chemical impacts across a shared supply chain. In 2014, PVH joined the

Apparel and Footwear International RSL Management Group (AFIRM), whose mission is “to reduce the use and impact of harmful substances in the apparel and footwear

supply chain.” AFIRM focuses on providing a forum to advance the global management of restricted substances in apparel and footwear, communicate information about

chemical management to the supply chain, discuss concerns, and exchange ideas for improving chemical management. PVH’s ultimate goal is to adopt the AFIRM RSL and

with future updates, intends to align the PVH RSL with this industry standard.

Additionally, PVH is also a member of the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals (“ZDHC”) Programme, a global coalition of leading international brands in the apparel and

footwear sector. ZDHC’s mission is to transform the global apparel and footwear industry by improving environmental performance and chemical safety, thereby delivering a

safer and cleaner environment, with the ultimate goal of achieving zero discharge of chemicals. Among numerous initiatives, ZDHC maintains a Manufacturer Restricted

Substance List (“MRSL”), which establishes acceptable concentration limits for substances in chemical formulations used in manufacturing facilities to help prevent hazardous

substances from entering the production process.

By partnering with multi-stakeholder initiates such as AFIRM and ZDHC, PVH hopes to drive adoption of industry standards and tools to help our suppliers meet our chemical

and environmental commitments. For more information on AFIRM or ZDHC, please see the appendices at the end of this document or visit their websites at http://afirm-

group.com/ and www.roadmaptozero.com.

INTRODUCTION (2 OF 2)

HOW TO USE THE PVH RSLSuppliers are encouraged to use the tools in this document to improve their chemical management systems and ensure PVH products are in compliance with the limits set in this

RSL. The PVH RSL document contains the following sections:

• Risk matrix (A guide to help suppliers identify high risk chemical classes associated with materials and finishes used for PVH products)

• Change Log (Updates from the 2018 RSL to the 2020 RSL are highlighted)

• List of restricted substances and their allowed concentrations

• Guidance documents and resources to help suppliers comply with PVH’s standards.

• In addition to resources found in Appendix II, guidance documents are linked through out the restricted substances list. Click the symbol for more

information on chemical classes found within this RSL.

WHAT SHOULD SUPPLIERS DO?PVH suppliers should work with business partners in their supply chains to ensure raw materials used for the production of PVH products meet the requirements in this RSL. For

details and more specific information on how PVH’s RSL testing program applies to your business, please reference the PVH Global Quality Manual (GQM) or contact their

respective PVH Quality Assurance (QA) representative.

Additionally, to help ensure compliance with PVH’s RSL, suppliers purchasing chemical formulations should ensure they receive a valid Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for each

chemical formulation used for a PVH product, and inquire whether chemical suppliers can verify that formulations meet the requirements of the ZDHC MRSL. One tool to help

identify MRSL compliant chemistries is the ZDHC online Gateway platform, which is free for PVH suppliers. For more information on ZDHC’s gateway or other chemical

management tools, please see Appendix II at the end of this document. You can also visit ZDHC’s website at www.roadmaptozero.com.

MORE INFORMATIONMore information on PVH’s chemical management expectations can be found in the PVH Supplier Guidelines, and more details about our commitment and broader Corporate

Responsibility initiatives can be found at https://responsibility.pvh.com/. Please contact us with further questions at [email protected].

RISK MATRIX

The following risk matrices shown in the tables on pages 6 and 7, are guidance tools to help suppliers identify restricted substances which have been historically used or

found as contaminants in raw materials and finishes within the apparel and footwear industry. Chemical classes are identified for high ( ), medium ( ), and

low ( ) risk for association with PVH materials, products, and finishes. This information is based on PVH’s experience in manufacturing, and in managing restricted

substances across a range of material types. Please note, the entire list of restricted substances applies to all PVH materials and products, and this tool is provided for

guidance purposes only. Our suppliers remain obligated to ensure that PVH products comply with all limits and restrictions in our RSL, and any applicable laws. The risk

matrices on the following pages are intended to indicate risk and are not PVH testing requirements. Suppliers should contact their respective QA representative for the

testing matrix and more details.

APPENDIX II: ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE (1 of 2)THE FOLLOWING LINKS PROVIDE INFORMATION TO AID OUR SUPPLIERS IN COMPLIANCE WITH PVH’S CHEMICAL MANAGEMENT STANDARDS (INCLUDEING RSL). THEY CONTAIN INFORMATION ON CHEMICALS FOUND IN THE RSL, TRAINING, AND BEST PRACTICES FOR CHEMICALS MANAGEMENT.

PVH DEVELOPED TOOLS

Supplier Guidelines

The PVH Supplier Guidelines outline PVH standards and expectations of its business partnerships, and provides guidance for suppliers on how to achieve and move

beyond compliance of these standards. This document importantly places emphasis on our code of conduct entitled A Shared Commitment, and outlines PVH’s current

approach to assessing its global supply chain and establishing expectations around remediation and corrective action implementation.

PVH RSL Chemical Cheat Sheets

Suppliers are encouraged to use the PVH chemical guidance sheets found in the GQM to aid in understanding the chemical groups on the RSL and where they may be

found along the supply chain.

Global Quality Manual

The PVH Global Quality Manual (GQM) is an online manual (available via html and app) used corporately by internal and external partners, effective for all product shipped

from January 1st 2017 onwards. It is designed to provide associates and external partners with a clear understanding of PVH product standards and requirements. It should

be used as a reference tool for answering questions relating to the development, production, quality, and shipping of PVH products.

RSL Testing Tool and TRF Generator

To aid our suppliers with participation in the PVH RSL Testing Program, PVH has developed an online tool to help suppliers identify RSL testing needs based off of material

type, risk, and PVH requirements. It then uses this information to auto-generate a testing request form (TRF) for our suppliers. As testing requirements vary by brand and

division, please consult your PVH Quality Assurance (QA) representative to see if this tool is available for your products.

INDUSTRY DEVELOPED TOOLS

AFIRM Chemical Information Sheets:

AFIRM member brands have produced a comprehensive set of educational materials advising suppliers about best practices for chemical management. Each chemical

information sheet covers a chemical or class of chemicals, giving an overview of the substance(s), where they are likely to be found in the material manufacturing process,

and how to maintain compliance with the AFIRM RSL. The complete library of chemical information sheets is available on the AFIRM website at https://afirm-

group.com/english-information-sheets/; additionally, links to individual information sheets are embedded in each chemical group section on the RSL.

APPENDIX II: ADDITIONAL GUIDANCE (2 of 2)

INDUSTRY DEVELOPED TOOLS (cont.)

AFIRM Toolkit

Along with the AFIRM chemical information sheets, AFIRM member brands have produced a supplier toolkit to aid suppliers in implementing an RSL testing and chemicals

management program. This document, translated in four languages, includes guidance on RSL chemicals, best practices, and corrective actions.

Higg Facility Environment Module (FEM) 3.0

PVH is addressing chemical management and other environmental challenges by engaging its suppliers on the environmental performance of their facilities through the

Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s Higg Facility Environmental Module (FEM). As a member of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, PVH is committed to driving the adoption of

the Higg suite of self-assessment tools that accurately measures sustainability and supply chain impacts in a standardized way. For more information on how to use the tool

please visit www.howtohigg.org.

ZDHC MRSL

The ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substance List (MRSL) is a list of chemical substances banned from intentional use in facilities that process textile materials and trim

parts in apparel and footwear. The ZDHC MRSL establishes acceptable concentration limits for substances in chemical formulations used within manufacturing facilities.

ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines

ZDHC Wastewater Guidelines define a single, unified expectation for wastewater discharge quality that goes beyond regulatory compliance, not only for conventional

wastewater parameters, but also for hazardous chemicals.

ZDHC Gateway

The ZDHC Gateway is an online tool for chemical suppliers, manufacturers, and brands. It contains two modules:

• The Chemical Module- platform that enables suppliers to find chemical formulations that meet the requirements of ZDHC’s MRSL.

• The Wastewater Module- an exchange platform that enables suppliers to securely share wastewater data in line with ZDHC’s standards, with ZDHC brands in the

textile, footwear, and leather industry.

ZDHC Academy

The ZDHC Academy provides brands and manufacturers with ZDHC certified training to improve their knowledge and practice of responsible chemical management.

Suppliers can create a profile to sign up for ZDHC in-person trainings or take online courses.
