We take seriously our responsibility to maintain the storied reputation of our brands and to foster an innovative and collaborative culture committed to accountability, honesty and transparency.
In 2019, our Board of Directors adopted our Code of Business Conduct, which establishes the standards, expectations and business conduct policies for everyone at Kontoor Brands, including our officers and directors.

At Kontoor Brands, we are committed to fostering dialogue and communication through multiple channels, including our Open Door Policy and our Ethics Helpline. The Helpline is a free, confidential way for anyone to seek guidance, ask a question or raise a concern. It is available in multiple languages in every country where we have employees.
Our Ethics Helpline is not only available to Kontoor Brands employees. Anyone who wishes to raise a concern about a potential violation of our Code of Business Conduct or the law can contact the Helpline 24 hours a day/seven days a week.
Ensuring that our employees are comfortable speaking up and raising concerns is essential to sustaining our culture of integrity. At Kontoor Brands, we have a strict policy against retaliation toward anyone for making a good-faith report of a potential violation of our Code of Conduct, a company policy or the law or for participating in an investigation.
