SUSTAINABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY

Kontoor Brands is aware of the impact our industry has on people and
the environment—from the production of raw materials like cotton to the
manufacturing of finished goods. While we comply with all environmental
laws, we follow strict standards for the well-being of our associates and the
communities in which we operate, always seeking to minimize our impact on
the natural resources we use.

We have launched multiple programs across our organization and brands in
recent years to monitor and reduce our social and environmental impacts—
and wherever possible to begin generating positive impacts. Together, our
Sustainability and Responsibility efforts are focused on three distinct areas:
Planet, Products and People. In each of these areas, we encourage our
associates to work across our Company and brands to set targets and strive
for ever higher performance.

Associates who have suggestions for how we can further improve Kontoor
Brands' environmental conservation efforts are encouraged to contact their local
Sustainability and Responsibility representative.
