INTRODUCTION
G-Star is committed to eliminate industrial releases of hazardous chemicals into the environment, and set the target toreach zero discharge of hazardous chemicals from all our products and production processes by 2020.
The basis of our Responsible Supply Chain policy is the G-Star Supplier Code of Conduct (CoC) that clarifies and elevatesthe expectations we have of suppliers we work with and lays down the minimum Social and Environmental, Health &Safety (EHS) standards we expect each factory to meet.
In order to reach the goal of zero discharge G-Star has taken several steps, which are outlined and explained in thisintroduction and more in detail in our annual detox progress report.
As cooperation across the entire industry is essential we have taken the initiative to collaboratively work with a large
number of world leading brands and other value chain affiliates towards zero discharge of hazardous chemicals by 2020.
As ‘ZDHC Joint Roadmap Group’ this collaboration of brands has set specific actions and timelines to realize this sharedcommitment and to set the right standard of environmental performance for the global apparel and footwear industry.
G-Star supports and puts effort in the group’s activities to collectively find safe substitutions for hazardous chemicals usedin the apparel industry and work towards zero discharge of hazardous chemicals by 2020. More information can be foundon the ZDHC Joint Roadmap website.
In addition, we are a system partner of bluesign®technologies ag. We are committed to implement their bluesign®
standard in our supply chain. Bluesign® provides a holistic solution for a sustainable textile production. By joining
bluesign® technologies ag we support our environmental goals and encourage suppliers in our entire textile production
chain, from raw materials to textile manufacturers, to come to a healthy, safe and environmentally friendly production
process.
In addition G-Star has implemented different tools. The first tool is the Restricted Substance List, which we have madepublically available and is updated on an annual basis. The purpose of the Restricted Substance List is to inform our
suppliers on all chemicals that are banned or restricted in G-Star finished products. We do not allow the use of chemicals
in our products that can have a harmful effect on health or the environment. Our Textile Engineers and Chemical
Specialists work together with suppliers on proper use of chemicals and compliance with the RSL. To check compliance ofour products with regards to the RSL, we perform risk assessments, auditing and testing of our products.
In addition G-Star has introduced their first Manufacturing Restricted Substances List in 2014. The document addresses
hazardous substances potentially used and discharged into the environment during manufacturing and related processes,
not just those which could be present in finished products. G-Star anticipates that suppliers will work closely with theirchemicals suppliers to ensure substances mentioned in this MRSL are not present in any of the chemical commercial
products that are purchased from chemical suppliers.
Following this principle, G-Star has adopted the Waste Water Guideline of the ZDHC and implemented an Environmental
Guideline which guides our suppliers to set-up a fundamental chemical management system, address the importance of
input chemistry and refers to the next level of a cleaner and more sustainable production. Within this document G-Staraddresses the Waste Water requirements (according to the ZDHC Waste Water Guideline), which includes the 11 priority
chemical groups and beyond, so as a number of conventional parameters, showing foundational, progressive andaspirational limits and standardized test methods for measurements.

In the 4th quarter of 2017, G-Star has conducted waste water discharge testing at key suppliers, which represent >84% of
G-Star’s production volume. The results of this study allow us to obtain a good understanding of the use and dischargeof hazardous chemicals which includes the 11 priority chemicals and beyond, and the additional conventionalparameters. We use the data to guide and work with our suppliers towards cleaner and more sustainable production.
Waste water testing is done on a frequent basis and is made publically available

For this report G-Star selected suppliers from China, Bangladesh, Vietnam and Turkey. These suppliers account for >84%
of our global production volume. In line with the ‘right to know principle’ the test results of our water tests among ourglobal suppliers can be found on IPE, in Appendix I of this report, and on the ZDHC Gateway.
All G-Star’s Bangladesh suppliers are disclosing their waste water test results on the ZDHC Gateway, Wastewater
Module. Several specific Chinese factories publicly disclose their discharge data on the IPE discharge platform website.
Those suppliers are listed in this report. A few Chinese suppliers are currently not disclosing the water discharge dataon the IPE website. The suppliers who do not yet publically disclose waste water data, approved to anonymously use thedata for this report. For reference, we numbered the factories and indicated the country of production. In this report weshare the results of Chinese, Turkish, Vietnamese and Bangladesh factories. Below we also explain the relationship GStar has with its suppliers.
G-Star will continue the dialogue with the suppliers that do not yet disclose these data. For now, the reports of these
suppliers can be found in the annex to this report in an anonymous format.

METHODOLOGYLABORATORY SELECTION
G-Star acknowledges Waste Water reports of all ZDHC accepted laboratories. Those laboratories require an ISO 17025
accreditation and need to pass correlation test.
Additionally the laboratory presence in the country where G-Star’s suppliers are based is an important factory as water
samples must be analyzed within a given time window.

DEFINITION
Within production facilities we differentiate between industrial process water (water stream from production operations)and domestic water (non-process related waste water). The waste water testing conducted focuses entirely on industrial
process water.
Dilution of waste water is strictly forbidden, so as the discharge of not used residual amounts of chemical substances andformulations.
Two scenarios of waste water treatments are applicable at production sites.

Direct Discharged
Treated waste water which is directly discharged into a river or other receiving body. Usually this regulated under national
pollutant discharge legislations and has to comply with these requirements. A valid permit from legal authorities ismandatory for direct discharged water.

Indirect Discharged
Waste Water which is sent to an industrial or publicly owned waste water treatment plant. In case waste water isdischarged to a 3rd party waste water plant (municipal sewage plant) a verification of the external treatment, including
operating conditions and compliance to local laws and regulations is mandatory.

SAMPLING METHODOLYGY
Wastewater and sludge samples shall be collected as composite samples following ISO 5667- 13:2011 (Part 1, 3, 10, 13
and 15): Water Quality Sampling Guidance for the preservation and handling of water samples.
To ensure representative samples, composite sampling should be performed for no less than six (6) hours, with no morethan one hour between discrete samples. Each discrete sample shall be of equal volume. Sampling using calibrated
autosamplers is preferred, but in instances where national standards do not require autosampling, laboratory personnel
collecting samples are expected to meet the requirements of national sampling standards.
Samples shall be taken by qualified laboratory personnel. Laboratories performing sample collection must maintain achain-of-custody log for each sample collected to ensure the integrity of the sample.
In no circumstance shall samples be taken during times when the production process is not running or the wastewater isdiluted due to heavy rainfall, etc.
Suppliers are expected to allow for unannounced sampling by ZDHC-accepted laboratories.
Incoming water may be a single grab sample. For facilities with multiple incoming water sources, a single grab sample
from a common blend tank is acceptable. If no blend tank, one grab sample shall be collected from each incoming source.

TESTING METHOD AND DETECTION LIMITSThe testing methods and detection limits are aligned with the ZDHC Waste Water Guideline, which defines a single, unified
expectation concerning waste water discharge quality that goes beyond regulatory compliance, not only for theconventional waste water parameters, but also for hazardous chemicals.
The guideline was built upon the ZDHC Manufacturing Restricted Substances List (MRSL) – a list of chemical substancesbanned from intentional used in facilities that process textile materials and trim parts for the textile and footwear
industry.

Investigated companies and findings
The findings show that a root cause analysis is difficult for a company managing several tons of chemicals and textiles.
Nevertheless G-Star is currently following up with these suppliers and encourages them to set up a Corrective andPreventive Action Plan (CAP) and to further optimize their input stream management.
In the specific case Factory I, Turkey and the findings of Methylene chloride in freshwater G-Star is following up in a
separate action plan. Investigations are ongoing why this substance in found in the freshwater which is provided to themby the community.
A root cause investigation is also requested for the other MRSL substances factories found in the factories in Bangladesh
and China.

Investigated companies and findings
The findings refer to sludge for which the reporting limit is in ppm range, while the waste water reporting is based on areporting limit of ppb. Sludge was tested by G-Star as it can be used as an indicator for the existence/absence of a
substance at the site and allows gathering insights on hazardous substances in longer time period.
Azoamine and APEO (Nonylphenol) was found which could potentially be caused by the dyestuff/surfactant used for the
textile production. However it is not excluded that Nonylphenol contamination could be caused by other chemical
formulations used like facility cleaning products.
G-Star is currently investigating together with both suppliers on the possible root cause. Actions which are requested
contain specifications of all chemicals used (not approved by third parties), specifications for raw materials and ask for
APEO-free raw textiles, definition of purchase specifications also for cleaning agents and other non-textile chemicals.

CONCLUSION
Striving for aspirational limits for the sum parameters shall be done considering the economical and holistic ecologicalbackground. Usage of huge amounts of precipitating agents or energy to keep aspirational limits should be avoided.
Above progressive levels water recycling shall be the ultimate goal.
MRSL substances could be detected but only in a few cases and in very low concentrations. However G-Star is following
up with the suppliers individually in order to work on the root cause of these failures.
