From reducing waste to optimizing energy use, we take meaningful action to protect resources, people, and the planet.
Global Commitment to Sustainability
VS is committed to upholding a high level of responsibility towards people, the environment, and society. As a participant in the UN Global Compact (UNGC), we have voluntarily aligned our business activities with the principles of the UNGC.
This responsibility encompasses both our own business activities and the full lifecycle of our products, from sourcing to production and beyond. We are actively committed to adhering to laws, standards of conduct, and human rights, striving to minimize and prevent any negative impacts on human rights within our operations.
