(MENAFN- 3BL) During Climate Week NYC 2025, Tapestry continued its commitment to designing a better-made future through learning, collaboration, and innovation. From an employee-focused education session to executive insights on an industry panel, the company spotlighted its progress and purpose-driven partnerships.

Tapestry's employee event featured leaders Peter Charles , Chief Supply Chain Officer; Logan Duran , VP & Global Head of Sustainability; Julia Furnari , Sr. Director, Social Impact, Tapestry Foundation; Taryn Bird , Sr. Director, Social Impact, Kate Spade New York; and Kim Matsoukas , Director, Sustainability, Coach. Together they reflected on the evolution of Our Social Fabric and Fabric of Change sustainability and social impact initiatives since 2019, and highlighted strategic partnerships that are helping drive impact at scale:

• Earlier this year, Tapestry became one of the first brands to make a financial commitment to the World Wildlife Fund's (WWF)Deforestation-Free Leather Fund . That commitment is in addition to the Tapestry Foundation's $3 million philanthropic grant to WWF in 2022 to develop an innovative system to enhance leather traceability in Brazil.
• Tapestry's investment in Generation Phoenix – recently expanded through a three-year supply agreement and quadrupled equity stake – demonstrated the company's continued commitment to scaling sustainable material innovations.

In addition, Logan Duran, VP & Global Head of Sustainability, took part in a panel discussion during Climate Week NYC hosted by Textile Exchange . The conversation addressed how to make sustainability a larger part of everyday business decisions. Duran explained how Tapestry has made environmental and social responsibility a regular part of its operations.

Coach's circular sub-brand, Coachtopia , also marked Climate Week by spotlighting one of its most successful collections to date, the Alter/Ego:

• The Alter/Ego Slouchy Shoulder Bag is made with 59% fewer carbon emissions than a comparable product in new materials.
• The Alter/Ego Large Crescent Shoulder Bag is made from 100% Upcrafted leathers (premium leather scraps left over from Coach Tabby and Brooklyn bags).

Stay tuned for more exciting sustainability updates in Tapestry's Fiscal 2025 Corporate Responsibility Report launching later this year.
