Outlines Continued Progress Against Expanded 2025 People, Planet and Community Goals

Highlights New Biodiversity and Circularity Initiatives to Minimize Impact on Natural Resources

Tapestry, Inc. (NYSE: TPR), a leading New York-based house of modern luxury accessories and lifestyle brands, today released its ninth Corporate Responsibility report, which reviews the environmental, social and governance (ESG) impact work conducted by Tapestry in the 2021 fiscal year, ending July 3, 2021, as well as an updated Materiality Assessment.

“Tapestry’s approach to corporate responsibility is based on driving real, measurable change towards a more sustainable, equitable and inclusive world. I am incredibly proud of the great strides that we made in fiscal year 2021 that are detailed in Our Social Fabric Corporate Responsibility report,” said Joanne Crevoiserat, Chief Executive Officer of Tapestry, Inc. “Among them are the announcement of an ambitious expansion of our 2025 goals and signing the Science Based Targets initiative’s Business Ambition for 1.5°C, committing to set science-based targets to limit global warming to 1.5°C and achieve net zero emissions by 2050, remaining steadfast in our efforts to make a difference and create a better world.”

The fiscal year 2021 Corporate Responsibility report highlights the progress made towards key ESG topics across three pillars: Our People, Our Planet and Our Communities. The report outlines the expansion of several of Tapestry’s ESG goals for 2025 with new bold commitments and the launch of a biodiversity strategy.
