Ralph Lauren Corporation and its subsidiaries (“Ralph Lauren”) has
built its brand around the consistent production of high quality
products, from apparel and home furnishings to fragrances and
accessories, and its commitment to conducting business according to the
highest ethical and legal standards.

We require all vendors, factories, and contractors to adhere to our
Operating Guidelines which set forth our business, legal and ethical
standards in the following areas: occupational health and safety, fair
wages and benefits, work hours, transparent record keeping practices,
freedom of association, sub-contracting, customs compliance, product
safety, conflicts of interest, anti-bribery, environmental
sustainability, and prohibitions on child labor, forced labor, prison
labor, discrimination, and harassment. We apply the same standards and
principles to our own organization, to ensure the same level of
protection to our employees.

Ralph Lauren supports the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 and the UK Modern Slavery Act of 2015.

Ralph Lauren requires all of its suppliers to prohibit the hiring of
slave labor and prevent practices that could contribute to human
trafficking.

To eradicate slavery and human trafficking from our supply chain, we:

• verify product supply chains
using third party auditors to ensure that our product supply chains are
compliant with our Operating Guidelines and applicable laws and
regulations prohibiting slave labor and human trafficking;

• conduct independent audits of our
suppliers to evaluate their compliance with our Operating Guidelines
and applicable laws and regulations prohibiting slave labor and human
trafficking;

• require certification by our
suppliers that materials incorporated into our products comply with our
Operating Guidelines and applicable laws and regulations prohibiting
slave labor and human trafficking in countries where our suppliers are
doing business;

• maintain internal accountability
standards and procedures for employees and contractors failing to meet
our Operating Guidelines prohibiting slave labor and human trafficking;
and

• provide training for our supply chain executives and employees on the prevention of human trafficking and slave labor.

Ralph Lauren reputation for product excellence begins in our suppliers’ facilities.
