VF Corp publishes traceability maps for flagship products

VF Corporation has achieved its traceability mapping goal by tracing over 100 products and producing traceability maps for many of its flagship products, including the Timberland Waterproof Boot, the Jansport Big Student Backpack and The North Face ThermoBall Eco Hoodie.

“Included in this process are high-impact goods such as cotton, wool, leather, rubber and polyester. The purpose is to understand the origins of these raw materials that enables us to identify how these materials are processed and the impacts they have on the environment and the people who live in communities supporting these processes. Through supplier outreach, surveys and continued research, we are gaining a better understanding of our entire supply chain.”
