OUR IMPACT

PHILOSOPHY

As a global luxury lifestyle brand, our collections are designed to inspire women and the next generation. These values extend from our collections to the way We conduct business to the work of the Tory Burch Foundation.

Tory launched the Foundation in 2009 to increase women’s economic power through entrepreneurship — and with a conviction that this hybrid model of a purpose-led company represented the future of business. Since then, a portion of every sale has enabled the Foundation to deliver transformative impact.

TORY BURCH FOUNDATION
Increases women’s economic power by supporting entrepreneurs to build businesses that last

THE FOUNDATION

We launched the Tory Burch Foundation in 2009 as a non-profit with a clear mission — to increase women’s economic power by supporting entrepreneurs to build businesses that last. Our thriving ecosystem – of experts, innovators, and industry leaders – connects extraordinary women entrepreneurs to essential resources to scale, lead, and shape the economy. Entrepreneurs who participate in our programming stay in business longer, are more likely to surpass $1M in annual revenue, and secure funding at higher rates than their peers.

The brand funds Tory Burch Foundation operating expenses through a combination of product sales and direct donations. Tory Burch employees have provided 800+ expert, skills-based advisory sessions to women entrepreneurs. Since 2017, customers have purchased over 1 million products as part of the Tory Burch Foundation Collection, including our Embrace Ambition Bracelets. 100% of net proceeds from this collection benefit the Foundation’s work.

BY DESIGN

We design timeless products with distinctive details and thoughtful construction. Quality and longevity set our products apart. We focus on creating pieces that our customers love, keep and pass on — one of the most scalable ways we can lower our impact. As we evolve, we are committed to using innovative, lower-impact materials and production while preserving our high standards of quality and craftsmanship.

MATERIAL FOCUS

Building on our longstanding use of natural, renewable materials, we are introducing innovative, lower-impact alternatives — while actively working across our supply chain to trace primary raw materials.

Since 2019, we’ve been a member of Leather Working Group, an internationally recognized organization that helps ensure manufacturing facilities meet internationally established social and environmental standards by improving chemical management, and waste and energy use. Over 95% of our leather is from Leather Working Group Certified Tanneries that have achieved the highest silver and gold medal rating.

Our best-selling Ella Nylon collection has had a 100% recycled shell and lining since 2021. We joined leading nonprofit organization Textile Exchange in 2022 to further our work around lower-impact materials. In 2025, we launched our new Ella Nylon collection, transitioning fillers and interior components to recycled content where possible.

In 2023, we launched Ella Bio, a new version of our iconic tote. Its outer shell is made from innovative BioFabbrica Bio-Tex™, a leather-like material that is 64% plant protein. In 2024, we introduced bio-based acetate in our eyewear, and expanded the use of BioFabbrica Bio-Tex™ into jewelry. In 2025, we introduced bio-based trim on our core Ella Nylon collection.

We have a rigorous testing protocol and work with third-party labs to ensure materials and products meet our restricted substances, safety and quality standards. In keeping with our responsible sourcing values, we do not use fur in our products.

PACKAGING PROGRESS

In 2025, we introduced new packaging globally, a harmonious blend of our heritage and sustainability. The mossy green is deeply personal to Tory and has been a brand color since she founded the company. Our packaging is crafted from recycled and responsibly-sourced materials that meet rigorous environmental certification standards.

We have cataloged every piece of protective and brand packaging, reduced unnecessary packaging and set concrete sustainability goals. Most components are either reusable or recyclable. Shoppers, boxes and gift folders contain a minimum of 70% recycled paper, while jewelry boxes, garment bags and canvas totes are designed for re-use, and dustbags are 100% recycled. For online orders in the US, we have eliminated plastic air pillows in favor of recyclable paper protection and optimized shipping box sizes to minimize waste. And starting in Fall 2025, we will transition the bags used to protect our handbags during transit to 100% recycled content.

COMMITTED PARTNERSHIPS

We invest in long-term partnerships, with many suppliers having grown alongside our
brand over the past 20 years. We look for partners who share our values and commitment
to fair working conditions, set and maintain best-in-class social and environmental
standards, operate transparently, empower their workers and lower their impact

To drive our reduction strategy, we measure our climate footprint annually across our entire value
chain, including materials, manufacturing, operations and transportation. We have collected
environmental data from suppliers that represent over 75% of our purchase volume in order to
shape how we collaborate with our strategic partners on resources like energy and water.

Partnering with suppliers that are not linked with environmental or human rights risks is a priority.
All suppliers are required to comply with our Vendor Code of Conduct, and we conduct independent,
third-party audits with key suppliers to ensure their commitment to continuous improvement.

At Tory Burch, investing in our employees’ development and celebrating their accomplishments creates lifelong careers and a culture of growth.

Across the organization, people managers are held to a high standard of leadership based on a core set of tenets — such as accountability, respect and problem-solving — reinforcing the important role they play in creating a positive work environment.

Recognizing and respecting what makes each of us unique is a core value. Our culture is welcoming and inclusive; we collect feedback from our teams globally through our annual Engagement Survey to ensure that every voice is heard.
