Approach
At J.Crew Group, our commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) has been informed and derived from our brands’ commitment to bring their our customer’s product they will love forever, made in the most responsible way possible.
J.Crew, J. Crew Factory and Madewell brands collaborate with J.Crew Group level leadership to leverage a collective power and scale in order to create the greatest impact. Existing and future efforts are evaluated according to their position in our materiality index; impact on people and planet; and risks to our business, communities, and the world in which we operate. Each of our brands plays a distinct and important role in fulfilling our ESG priorities.
Our ESG framework comes to life across the following three pillars:
Protect our Planet: Design with natural resources in mind and drive initiatives that deliver a positive impact on climate and nature.
Care for our people: Demonstrate respect for our associates and the works across our supply chain, while making a positive difference in the communities where we operate.
Lead with Integrity: Differentiate ourselves through the way we do business, holding ourselves to the highest moral and ethical standards.
Governance
Our ESG work is led by our internal ESG Steering Committee, which is co-chaired by our Chief Legal Officer and Chief Sourcing Officer. The Committee also includes representatives from the leadership levels across Sustainability; Human Resources; Legal; Social Compliance; Sourcing; Information Technology; Finance; Facilities; Supply Chain; Marketing; and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging. The Committee meets bi-annually to review projects, track progress and set priorities for ESG work moving forward.
The ESG Steering Committee presents any ESG updates and high-level decisions to the Executive Council, which consists of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Finance Officer, Chief People Officer, Head of Strategy and Chief Legal Officer. This group approves new goals, budgets and priorities for the organization.
