“We believe that sound environmental and social policies are both ethically correct and fiscally responsible. To that end, we are committed to improving the way we work in order to better the world in which we live.”
Coinciding with the release of the company’s corporate social responsibility goals and objectives, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Capri Holdings John D.
