SUPPLY CHAIN DISCLOSURE

PORT AUTHORITY IS PROUD OF ITS STRONG COMMITMENT TO RESPONSIBLE SOURCING.

We work hard to provide apparel and accessories that you can be sure are made ethically and responsibly. To accomplish this, we purchase products from long-term, reliable and responsible partners and work with respected independent third parties to continuously improve our factory monitoring program.

Factory Monitoring

We take great care to ensure our suppliers share our standards and operate in an ethical and responsible manner. By making social responsibility fundamental to our sourcing decisions, we ensure our suppliers take our Global Operating Principles (GOP) as seriously as we do.

Our factory monitoring program includes third-party verification, engagement with multi-stakeholder initiatives and providing factories with training and resources when opportunities for improvement are identified. Third-party verification of our Global Operating Principles is rigorous and further strengthened by the independent, random monitoring of certain factories by the Fair Labor Association (FLA). The Fair Labor Association is a collaborative effort of socially responsible companies, colleges and civil society organizations to improve working conditions in factories around the world. In November of 2012, we were recognized by the FLA for our dedication to the Fair Labor and Responsible Sourcing Principles when it accredited our compliance program. In March 2023, our program received re-accreditation from the FLA. The re-accreditation process reviewed our policies and oversight mechanisms over several years, representing the highest level of programmatic evaluation. We are proud to be one of only a small number of companies to hold this level of distinction.

Supply Chain Disclosure

We are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical sourcing and labor practices in compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, Canada’s Bill S-211, and other relevant legislation. Our statement on modern slavery (available upon request) outlines our commitment to compliance with both legislative frameworks and our dedication to identifying, preventing, and mitigating the risks associated with child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking in our operations and supply chains.

Through our comprehensive due diligence policies and processes, we strive to eradicate child labor, forced labor, and human trafficking from our operations and supply chains, contributing to a more sustainable and responsible global business environment. We aim to continuously improve our monitoring program to positively impact lives
