Environmental Sustainability 26 2021 ESG REPORT Chemical Management Clean at Sephora In 2020, Kohl’s and Sephora announced their long-term strategic partnership. Sephora at Kohl’s is a fully immersive, premium beauty destination. Sephora has a robust chemicals policy for its private-label products and since 2019 has been taking significant steps forward in addressing chemicals of high concern (CHCs) in branded products it sells. Its voluntary but growing Clean at Sephora program provides a particularly transparent and comprehensive approach. Sephora has shown significant progress in eliminating CHCs from products it sells and outlined significant efforts to help ensure CHCs are replaced with safer alternatives. Supplier Disclosure & Accountability We monitor suppliers’ environmental impacts through the Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM). All approved facilities producing Kohl’s proprietary brand products are required to complete the Higg FEM annually. The Higg FEM includes a chemical management section that assesses and identifies opportunities for facilities to improve performance in several areas including production processes that use chemicals to make a product. Suppliers are required under Kohl’s Purchase Order Terms and Conditions to ensure that any merchandise manufactured for and sold to Kohl’s is compliant with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations, as well as any standards and specifications set by Kohl’s, including those regarding chemical safety and harmful/toxic substances. Achieving compliance with any chemical management standards and specifications set by Kohl’s will be a prerequisite of working with us in the future. GOAL Emphasize the elimination and reduction of chemicals and strive for zero discharge of hazardous chemicals in tier 1 suppliers for select Kohl’s proprietary brands.
