Jan 29, 2024 – A&F Co.’s Sustainability Team is well known among associates and external partners alike for leading a range of environmental protection initiatives, from recycling efforts to the implementation of water conservation practices.
The scope of our Sustainability Team’s commitment to a healthy planet doesn’t end there, though—it also expands to safe working environments as well, with a focus on human rights within our supply chain. The impact areas within this focus range from labor & social standards to anti-human trafficking.
One of the biggest ways to combat human trafficking is to support local anti-trafficking organizations.
In 2018, we partnered with Pacific Links Foundation to implement the Factory Awareness to Counter Trafficking (FACT) program in factories in Vietnam. By 2022, we trained 25,000 workers on anti-human trafficking.
