Originally from Ireland, I am charged with ensuring that PVH’s Corporate Responsibility policies, both human rights and environment, are respected by the company and enforced throughout its supply chain. I am also responsible for advising PVH on developments in the legislative, regulatory and public affairs spheres insofar as they relate to human rights, environmental sustainability and product sustainability and for leading the Issues Management team which advises on the company globally on developments carrying potential reputational risk.PVH works to ensure that its human rights and environmental policies are respected not just with the use of a global human rights and environment assessment program, but by working with external stakeholders, internal business partners and its supplier base to drive programmatic change, under its Forward Fashion strategy. At PVH, we believe in working through partnership with our supply base of over 1,000 factories in 50 sourcing countries to drive program and achieve our joint objectives in the area of Corporate Responsibility (CR). We do this by partnering closely with our PVH Supply colleagues in building, with our suppliers, a common platform for advancement which seeks to go beyond mere compliance. Leading a team of 40 based in New York, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Ho Chi Minh City, Bangalore, Dhaka, Istanbul, Amsterdam and Sao Paulo, I serve as point for PVH in much of its stakeholder engagement, including with various Governments around the world and with the NGO/human rights community.
