Consumer Discretionary
Tapestry, Inc. (TPR)
Data as of July 13, 2026
Environment story
Tapestry scores 55/100 on environmental criteria, reflecting significant disclosure gaps and greenwashing concerns. The company acknowledges climate-related supply-chain disruption risks and tariff impacts on sourcing costs but does not publicly disclose Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions data, net-zero targets, or renewable energy percentages. The 10-K extensively documents physical and transition climate risks (supply disruptions, raw material volatility, extreme weather) and regulatory compliance burdens, yet the company provides no quantified decarbonization roadmap or carbon intensity metrics. A major penalty applies for ignoring supply-chain emissions (Scope 3), which dominate apparel manufacturing footprints globally. No evidence of major environmental controversies (toxic waste, habitat litigation) was found in disclosed filings. The company's risk-factor emphasis on climate volatility without corresponding operational carbon targets suggests reactive rather than proactive environmental governance.

Disclosed initiatives
-
Corporate Responsibility StrategyCompany has announced a Corporate Responsibility strategy with sustainability goals, but specific climate or carbon reduction targets are not disclosed in 10-K.
-
Supply Chain ComplianceGlobal Business Integrity Program includes Supplier Code of Conduct and environmental compliance requirements for manufacturers; however, no quantified Scope 3 reduction targets or renewable sourcing mandates disclosed.
Social story
Tapestry scores 72/100 on social criteria. The company provides limited transparency on workforce diversity and CEO-to-worker pay ratio. The proxy statement and 10-K do not disclose the CEO-to-median-worker pay ratio, turnover rates, or executive/board-level diversity percentages, preventing full assessment under the 15-point and 15-point deductions for excessive pay ratios and low diversity. No documented union-suppression activities or major strikes in the past 24 months are reported; the company acknowledges labor-law compliance obligations and competitive wage pressures in supply-chain markets but provides no union recognition or collective-bargaining posture. Supply-chain human-rights risks are acknowledged (labor law compliance, conflict minerals sourcing), and the company references a Supplier Code of Conduct, but audit results and mitigation outcomes are not quantified. The company emphasizes customer lifetime value and omni-channel experiences, and references employee morale and retention as strategic priorities, but lacks granular ESG disclosures on pay equity, supplier audit outcomes, or diversity progress.

Governance story
Tapestry scores 73/100 on governance. The company operates a single-class share structure with no dual-class voting premium, a positive factor. Board independence appears robust with 10 directors nominated (specific independence percentages not disclosed but proxy emphasis on director qualifications suggests compliance with >75% standard). The company's bylaws include a staggered director election process, exclusive-forum provisions for derivative suits (Baltimore Circuit Court), and supermajority voting requirements for removal (limiting shareholder power). Maryland law business-combination statutes provide 5-year interested-stockholder protections. The company does not disclose annual lobbying expenditures in the 10-K; no evidence of active climate-deregulation or consumer-protection rollback lobbying is apparent, but absence of disclosure prevents full assessment. The FTC challenged (and the company terminated) the Capri Holdings acquisition in October 2024 on antitrust grounds, demonstrating regulatory scrutiny of market concentration, though the merger was ultimately abandoned. No active SEC enforcement, financial-fraud proceedings, or consumer-safety consent decrees are reported in the 10-K. The company repurchased $2 billion in stock via accelerated share repurchase in November 2024, balancing capital return with debt reduction post-Capri termination.
