Coach announces that the brand will no longer use real fur in its products, pledging to phase fur out completely by the debut of the Fall 2019 collection.
Joshua Schulman, President and CEO of Coach said Coach had been committed to advancing sustainable practices for many years, with the introduction of its corporate responsibility goals in 2015. “Back then, we laid the groundwork for prioritizing social and environmental initiatives. The decision to go fur-free is a truly meaningful milestone for the brand,” he added.
Core to Coach’s values, philanthropy is an area that the brand is exceptionally passionate about. The Coach Foundation, founded in 2008, has granted over $45 million to nonprofit partners globally. Coach also encourages its associates to take part in volunteer programs with their teams and to make a valuable contribution to the places where they live and work – exemplifying Coach’s dedication to giving back.
