Nike
Beaverton, United States
Responsible sourcing hub · Supplier code of conduct · Code leadership standards
Nike publishes a responsible sourcing framework built around a responsible supply chain hub, a supplier code, detailed Code Leadership Standards [Nike, 2025], and forced labor disclosure. The program is notable for translating broad labor, health and safety, and management-system expectations into operational supplier standards rather than leaving them at policy level.
Nike relies on a layered standards model rather than a single short supplier code.
Apparel
H&M Group
Stockholm, Sweden
Sustainability Commitment · Due diligence disclosure · Sustainable Impact Partnership Programme
H&M Group structures responsible sourcing around a public Sustainability Commitment [H&M, 2022 revision], dedicated due diligence framing, and a Sustainable Impact Partnership Programme. The brand's public materials show a program designed around business partner expectations, continuous engagement, and a formal human-rights due-diligence narrative.
H&M Group communicates supplier expectations through a business partner commitment, not just a narrow audit standard.

VF Corporation
Denver, Colorado
Traceability framework · Global compliance principles · Supplier visibility
VF links supplier compliance principles with a public traceability framework to make sourcing expectations more explicit across product lines. Note: VF's traceability data was last updated in December 2021 [VF, 2021], so the current operational status of this tool should be verified independently.
Traceability is treated as a control with risk impact, not just a public narrative line item.
Apparel
Patagonia
Ventura, United States
Our Footprint hub · Fair Labor Association page · Living wage page
Patagonia frames supply chain responsibility through its public footprint pages, Fair Labor Association membership materials, living wage work, and environmental responsibility disclosures. The program stands out for being unusually transparent about the broader footprint and systems context around sourcing decisions.
Patagonia uses footprint storytelling to explain sourcing systems, not only to market products.
Apparel
Gap Inc.
San Francisco, United States
Impact hub · Human rights and labor issues page · Impact report
Gap Inc. frames responsible sourcing through its broader Impact hub, human rights and labor issue disclosures, and recurring impact reporting. The public structure suggests a program that combines policy/disclosure framing with regular reporting rather than relying on a single supplier-standards page to carry the whole story.
Gap Inc. uses its impact reporting architecture to explain human-rights and labor priorities.
