G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (GIII) — ESG & Values Scores

Environment story

G-III discloses minimal environmental metrics and sustainability targets. No Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data is publicly available in 10-K filings. The company acknowledges regulatory evolution on climate and supply-chain due diligence but provides no quantified net-zero target, renewable energy commitments, or decarbonization roadmap. The 10-K notes climate-change risk exposure (unseasonable weather affecting seasonal apparel demand) and supply-chain reliance on Asia (China 25%, Vietnam 36.9% of fiscal 2026 purchases), but does not disclose Scope 3 product-use emissions or mitigation strategies. Compliance with Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) is mentioned; the company states it prohibits sourcing from XUAR but provides no third-party audit evidence. Overall ESG disclosure lags peer retailers; company does not appear to have filed a formal sustainability report or GRI/SASB disclosure. Environmental score capped due to absence of disclosed emissions, net-zero commitment, or verified decarbonization investments.

Disclosed initiatives

UFLPA Supply Chain Controls

Company states it has established controls to preclude sourcing products or materials from XUAR and prohibits vendors from doing business with XUAR facilities. No independent audit or third-party verification disclosed.
Regulatory Monitoring

Company acknowledges evolving regulatory landscape on climate, forced labor, supply-chain transparency, and product composition but does not commit to specific environmental targets or timelines.

Social story

G-III discloses limited social metrics in 10-K. No CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio is reported; Morris Goldfarb, Chairman/CEO, is identified as key personnel but exact compensation ratio is not quantified in the filing. Turnover rate is not disclosed. Union standing is not explicitly addressed; no mention of documented labor disputes, strikes, NLRB complaints, or union-suppression activities within the past 24 months. Leadership diversity percentages (executive/board) are not provided; the company does not report workforce or leadership demographic breakdowns in the 10-K. Supply-chain labor standards are acknowledged as a risk (vendor compliance with labor policies, UFLPA Xinjiang controls), but no independent audits or certifications (SA8000, BSCI) are mentioned. The 10-K notes dependence on foreign manufacturers (China, Vietnam, Bangladesh) and states the company requires compliance with labor standards and ethical practices, but provides no evidence of systematic monitoring, worker grievance mechanisms, or living-wage commitments. Bad debt expense related to customer bankruptcies (Saks Global, Hudson's Bay) is mentioned, indicating credit-extension risks but not directly a social issue. Overall, social disclosure is sparse; no comprehensive DEI program, supplier diversity, or labor-relations transparency is evident.

Disclosed initiatives

Labor Standards Compliance Requirements

Company requires manufacturers and licensees to comply with labor standards and ethical practices; states it depends on vendors for compliance with labor policies. No independent audit evidence or third-party certification provided.

Governance story

G-III operates with a single share class (common stock); no dual-class voting structure penalizable under the scoring rubric. Board independence percentage is not explicitly disclosed in the 10-K; no detailed board composition table or independence metrics are provided. The company is subject to Nasdaq listing standards and Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 internal-control requirements. A material weakness in IT general controls was identified within the Karl Lagerfeld subsidiary but was deemed not to have resulted in material misstatement; remediation status is not fully described. The 10-K discloses no significant lobbying expenditures targeting environmental deregulation or consumer-protection rollbacks; compliance-related risk disclosures focus on tariff policy uncertainty and regulatory evolution rather than active lobbying against climate/consumer protections. Antitrust or major regulatory fines are not reported in the 10-K; however, PVH Corp. litigation related to Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger license disputes is disclosed (June 2025 complaint filed by G-III; PVH countersuit July 2025). This is a material contractual dispute but not a regulatory antitrust proceeding or consumer-fraud fine. Overall governance scores reflect moderate compliance with public-company standards, absence of obvious antitrust or regulatory penalties, but lack of transparency on board independence and no evidence of active anti-ESG lobbying.
