BEIJING – Kontoor Brands, which owns the Wrangler and Lee brands, has joined the Green Supply Chain Map in 2020; a move which means the firm will disclose the environmental information of all their suppliers located in China.
The online tool, launched in January 2018 by the The Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) and the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs (IPE), makes the names, addresses and geolocations of supplier facilities readily accessible and provides real-time emissions data, feedback about corrective actions and resource usage information.
Kontoor, which span out of VF Corp last year, becomes the first company to join the Map this year and joins the likes of Nike, Puma, Adidas, Levi’s and Tesco in enabling a more transparent supply chain.
