Tapestry's Approach to Engaging Their Suppliers

• Identify and disclose all energy sources, energy use, unit of measure, and tracking methods

Level 2 (must meet all requirements for Level 1):

• Establish baselines for energy use
• Understand processes and operations which consume the most energy
• Set targets for improving energy use or GHG emissions
• Develop an implementation plan to improve energy use or GHG emissions
• Compare against its baseline year-over-year

Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):

• Calculate and disclose annual Scope 3 GHG emissions

• Identify and track the facility’s water sources, quantities and unit of measure

Level 2 (must meet all requirements for Level 1):

• Set a normalized baseline for water use
• Identify processes which require the most water use
• Establish normalized targets for annualized water reduction
• Develop an action plan to achieve these targets
• Show water reductions against a baseline year-over-year

Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):

• Implement a water balance or other analysis to evaluate traceability of water intake vs. usage and output

• Track the facility’s wastewater volume
• Provide name and contact information of off-site wastewater treatment plant
• Establish emergency plans related to wastewater
• Proper disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous sludge
• Treat septic wastewater before discharge

Level 2 (must meet all requirements included in Level 1):

• Disclose any alignment with verified wastewater standards (Zero Discharge of Hazardous
• Chemicals (ZDHC), Business for Social Responsibility, etc.)
• Request wastewater quality test from the off-site wastewater treatment plant

Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):

• Have a closed-loop reuse and/or recycle process for wastewater

• Identify hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams and identify where the facility generates
• on-site waste, the type and quantity of waste
• Identify how waste is managed and disposed of
• Segregate all waste streams and store hazardous and non-hazardous waste separately, in well-
• marked and designated waste storage areas
• Avoid open burning and dumping on-site
• Train all employees involved with hazardous waste handling

Level 2 (must meet all requirements included in Level 1):

• Set a baseline for solid waste and waste disposal methods
• Set formal targets to reduce waste quantity and improve waste disposal methods
• Establish an implementation plan to reduce waste quantity and improve waste disposal methods
• Reduce waste quantity or improve waste disposal methods compared to an established baseline

Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):

• Validate final disposal and treatment of all hazardous waste
• Divert at least 90% of all discarded materials from landfills, incinerators and the environment
• Upcycle some waste and/or insert it into a circular economy system

Level 1:

• Keep a full chemical inventory list including the supplier’s name
• Have safety data sheets (SDS) available to all employees
• Train all employees in case of hazards/risk and train employees in Manufacturing Restricted
• Substance List (MRSL) and Restricted Substances List (RSL)
• Establish proper emergency plans in case of hazards/risk
• Provide appropriate and operable safety equipment to employees
• Have visible and proper hazard signage
• Requirements on chemicals purchased in compliance with RSLs
• Establish an environmental and occupational health and safety program
• Provide well-marked, designated chemical storage areas
• Document processes to identify, monitor and verify compliance with all RSL/MRSLs
• Visibility into traceability of chemicals from manufacturing process into inventory

Level 2 (must meet all requirements included in Level 1):

• Establish an implementation plan to improve chemical management
• Establish an implementation plan to reduce use of hazardous chemicals beyond regulations or
• MRSL/RSLs
• Source from approved/preferred chemical positive lists beyond regulations or MRSL/RSLs
• Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):
• Collaborate with brands and/or chemical suppliers for chemical alternatives
• Contribute to chemical analysis against human and environmental hazards
• Contribute to a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for chemical alternatives
• Ability to trade chemicals from product lot number to chemical lot number
• Set a documented Quality Assurance (QA) program including performance of chemicals
• Ensure contractors and/or subcontractors source from approved/preferred chemical lists

Level 1:

• Identify an inventory of all sources of on-site emissions
• Ability to track and measure all sources of production air emissions and have an abatement plan
• in place
• If refrigerants are in use and if there are any leaks, have an established action plan to improve
• Install operating control devices for all operating emission sources and production process
• sources and ensure they are being managed and that there is an abatement plan in place

Level 2 (must meet all requirements included in Level 1):

• Go beyond permit requirements for nitrous oxide and sulphur oxide

Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):

• Establish a strategic plan to upgrade equipment and to reduce and/or eliminate air emissions and improve indoor air quality

Level 1:

• Identify EMS responsible staff
• Establish EMS strategy that guides long-term decision making
• Ability to identify significant environmental impacts of the facility
• Establish a program or system to review and monitor environmental permit statuses and renew
• dates
• Monitor local laws, regulations and standards
• Establish a process and schedule to maintain all equipment

Level 2 (must meet all requirements included in Level 1):

• Review of the environmental management strategy by top management at least annually
• Staff includes competent technicians, training and engagement of EMS to all workers

Level 3 (must meet all requirements for Level 1 and Level 2):

• Promote awareness of environmental strategies to all employees
• Engage and monitor subcontractors on EMS using the Higg Index
• Engage with local organizations and stakeholders in environmental improvement
• Engage and monitor upstream suppliers on EMS using the Higg Index
