Our management and Board of Directors recognize the

of our cybersecurity environment to deliver on the

risks are assessed, identified, and managed by 
our cybersecurity team, which is led by our Chief 
Information Security Officer (the “CISO”). Our

such risks with our Security Steering Committee,

our cybersecurity program, including cybersecurity 
maturity assessments, penetration testing, and

In 2023, Pentair did not make any corporate political 
contributions. Our Political Contributions Policy 
governs such contributions, should they be made in 
the future. This policy is in place to ensure that if such

they protect and/or enhance stakeholder value. 
Our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and

ABOUT THIS REPORT
	 In 2023, we improved our methodology for 
calculating water discharge and consumption. 
We have updated the water discharge and 
consumption figures for the years 2019 through 
2022 to reflect this updated methodology. See 
GRI 303-4 and 303-5.
	 In our 2022 Corporate Responsibility Report, 
fuels reported as “Ethanol” were intended to be 
“E-85” for the year 2022. We have reflected 
this update in our 2023 report. See GRI 302-1 
and 305-1.

Live On Promise 
In 2022, we introduced our Live On promise to take our enduring philosophy of timelessness even further with  
a new commitment:
By 2030, Ralph Lauren will enable our past and future products to live on responsibly. 
To deliver on this promise, we committed to designing new and reimagined products according to circular 
principles. To help extend the life of Ralph Lauren products — old and new — we are also enabling consumers 
to rent, repair and recirculate our items in select top cities. We also continue to make investments to help 
advance circular innovation across the industry. 
This year, we strengthened our commitment by bringing our first C2C Certified® produ

Cashmere Recycling Program
Developed as part of the C2C certification process, we launched a 
recycling program for 100% cashmere in partnership with Re-Verso™, a 
leading textile production company that bridges science and technology to 
create a circular economy manufacturing system for high-quality wool and 
cashmere. The program, initially available in North America and Europe, 
allows consumers to request a prepaid mailing label from our website for 
their end-of-use cashmere product to be recycled.

Digital Product ID
Digital Product IDs (DPIDs) will be crucial to enabling technology that 
supports a circular economy. A unique digital ID is placed in each item 
during production to provide data related to the garment’s origin and 
makeup when the product’s QR label is scanned. This process enables 
consumers and marketplaces to authenticate products directly with the 
brand owner and discourages the sale of counterfeit clothing in resale, 
protecting consumers, brands and marketplaces.
In 2019, Ralph Lauren began rolling out this technology across our portfolio, 
starting with the Polo brand. DPIDs are currently in more than 220 million 
Polo products and can be used to authenti

Our Approach to Sustainable Materials 
Ralph Lauren products are designed to be timeless and worn for 
generations. With this in mind, we choose our product materials 
thoughtfully to ensure high-quality and durability. Our sustainable 
materials strategy has a holistic orientation, inclusive of impacts across 
the environment, animal welfare, land use and farmer livelihoods. We look 
to source materials from certifications and programs that drive positive 
change in these areas. Our efforts and goals are focused on the key 
materials that make up 92.2% of our material use: cotton, wool, cashmere, 
leather, viscose and polyester.1

Making Progress on Sustainable Cotton 
Cotton is the most widely used natural fiber for clothing production1 and 
accounts for more than 80% of our material use. We invest in the increased 
use of sustainable cotton and seek to support the scaling of improved 
practices in cotton cultivation, which benefits our business, the environment 
and the farmers that grow it. In FY23, 94% of the cotton units we produced 
met at least one of our defined sustainability attributes (organic, transitional/
in-conversion, Better Cotton, recycled, regenerative, U.S. Cotton Trust 
Protocol or Fair Trade).

Animal Welfare 
Our Animal Welfare Policy, which we updated in April 2023, outlines our 
commitment to the well-being and respectful treatment of animals, including 
our longstanding ban on the use of fur and our aim to have all of our animal-
derived materials certified to an animal welfare standard, where available. 
While only 5.4% of our total material use comes from animal-derived 
sources, we believe all animals should be treated with care and respect 
throughout all stages of life. We leverage animal fiber certification schemes 
to ensure alignment with this principle, as well as to help address some 
of the key environmental impacts associated with raising animals. We are

Sustainable Store Interiors
Our store interiors reflect timelessness with natural materials that get 
better with age, such as wood and stone. Sustainability guidelines from 
the U.S. Green Building Council and the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), 
among others, inform our interior materials sourcing.
