Responsible Sourcing
Kohl's considers environmental factors in the aspects and decisions of spend management throughout the sourcing, procurement and life cycle of each product or service acquired by Kohl's. Kohl’s is committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and waste throughout our supply chain.
We collaborate with our suppliers to communicate our expectations in their sustainability efforts. Supply chain operations can have an impact on the environment through energy and water consumption, carbon emissions, wastewater, chemical use, and waste disposal.
Business partners must live up to our social compliance standards, share our convictions, and operate according to our universally applied standards regarding ethics, fair business practices, and workplace safety. Additionally, all business partners must abide by our policies, including our Global Human Rights Policy, Environmental Policy and Business Partner Code of Conduct.
Chemical Management
Kohl’s is committed to meeting and striving to exceed industry standards of chemical management across our vendors and facility partners by continuing to advance our restricted substances standards and specifications. We continuously seek solutions to reduce the use of chemicals in our products and improve chemical management in our operations. We strive to increase the transparency of chemicals contained in or used to make the products we sell at Kohl’s.
Our Chemical Management Policy, Restricted Substance List (RSL) and the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) apply to all only-at-Kohl’s brand textile and footwear raw materials and related finished products.
