Forest Products

Victoria’s Secret & Co. is committed to responsible sourcing of forest products. Our Forest Products Procurement Policy is written to reduce threats to ancient and endangered forests and to avoid products that contribute to deforestation or human rights abuses. We are committed to working with our suppliers to source forest products from certified forestry operations, preferably those that meet Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) standards.

Victoria’s Secret & Co. Forest Products Procurement Policy

Paper

In order to minimize our impact to the world's forests, we work with our suppliers to source paper products that include recycled content and/or are produced with pulp from certified forestry operations, preferably that meet FSC standards. Listed here is a summary of our commitments and the progress we've made.

Victoria’s Secret & Co.’s Forest Products Policy:

  • Addresses the entire paper and forest products lifecycle; and
  • Eliminates suppliers sourcing from endangered forests.

We are committed to:

  • Not accepting paper sourced from endangered forests;
  • Optimizing the use of FSC and Post-Consumer Waste (PCW) paper.

To demonstrate our commitments, we:

  • Phased out paper procured from endangered forests; and
  • In partnership with L Brands, contributed more than $1 million for research and advocacy related to protecting endangered forests.

Man-Made Cellulosic Fibers

We are increasing the percentage of man-made cellulosic fibers in our portfolio, including rayon, viscose, modal and lyocell. We work with our suppliers in an effort to ensure that we do not knowingly source fabrics from old-growth or endangered forests or sources that contribute to deforestation or the loss of high conservation value forests.
