PVH Corp donates one million dollars as part of Covid-19 relief efforts

PVH Corp has become the latest fashion brand to offer support to those
impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.

The fashion group, whose portfolio includes brands Calvin Klein and
Tommy Hilfiger, said it is donating one million US dollars toward Covid-19
relief, including a 100,000 dollar donation to the Covid-19 Solidarity
Response Fund created by the UN Foundation and Swiss Philanthropy
Foundation.

It has also made a two million RMB (around 275,000 dollar) donation to
the Chinese Society of the Red Cross and a 50,000 dollar contribution to A
Common Thread, a Covid-19 relief fund launched last week by the Council
of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) and Vogue.

Additional efforts by the company include shipping over two million
units of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) such as gowns, masks and face
masks to the Montefiore Health System in New York; offering grants to
corporate, retail and warehouse associates in the US impacted by the
pandemic through its Associate Relief Fund; donating products in the US and
Netherlands to support frontline healthcare workers; donating to OutRight
Action International’s COVID-19 Global LGBTIQ Emergency Fund, which Calvin
Klein is a founding partner of; and continuing to match the donations of
its associates in the US and Canada through its matching gift program.

PVH chairman and CEO Manny Chirico said in a statement: “As I work with
our global leadership team to address a responsible plan forward for our
business, how we execute it as good corporate citizens is an important part
of our discussions. There is no roadmap for this crisis, but I know that at
PVH we have strong values and connections to our communities.”
