ENSURING HEALTH AND SAFETY
Because Kontoor Brands values our work and our well-being, our Company goes to great lengths to
foster a safe and healthy work environment.
Associates may not sell, possess, distribute, use or purchase illegal drugs—or sell, transfer or distribute
prescription drugs—on Company premises or during working hours. Associates must never work
while impaired by alcohol or drugs.
If you are concerned about a substance-abuse problem, please seek confidential assistance through
your benefits provider.
In addition, Kontoor Brands does not tolerate any action that threatens people, property or our Company,
including verbal threats, harassment, physical attacks, damage to Company property, possession
of any weapon on Company property or any other behavior that would make others feel unsafe.
If you become aware of any health or safety concern, report it to a manager immediately. For additional
guidance, see our Substance Abuse and Violence-Free Workplace Policies.
PROTECTING EMPLOYEE PRIVACY
We respect the privacy of our fellow associates and will safeguard the confidentiality of sensitive
personal information that we receive in the course of our work. This includes personal health
information, contact information, government-issued identification numbers and confidential
employment information, including salary and evaluation details. If your job involves having access
to such information, you must take care to safeguard it. Only use other associates’ private information
for valid business purposes, and never access it or share it with others—even colleagues—unless
necessary to fulfill your job responsibilities.
PROTECTING CONSUMER AND THIRD-PARTY DATA
We also strive to protect the confidential information of our consumers and third parties and safeguard
their confidential personal information against unauthorized access, use or disclosure. Consult the
Law Department with any questions about the use and handling requirements of consumer and
third-party data.
