JCPenney’s Proactive Approach to
Sustaining Business
jcpenney recognizes that in today’s global market, there is increasing focus on social and environmental issues. As one of America’s leading retailers, with the largest apparel and home furnishings on the Internet, jcp.com, and the nation’s largest merchandise catalog business, jcpenney makes it a priority to do business with suppliers that operate with high ethical standards. In fact, our supplier compliance programs are considered among the most challenging in the industry, especially for textiles and apparel factories. We will continue working cooperatively with our suppliers to address any potential labor, health and/or safety issues, while also expanding our supplier compliance program to identify and respond to key environmental issues.

Sourcing Fine Jewelry
jcpenney is committed to respecting the responsible sourcing of minerals so that we have greater confidence that the gold, other metals and gemstones in our products are not produced at the expense of communities, workers or the environment. Given the complexity of the gold and gemstone supply chain, we can only aspire to achieve these objectives through the cooperation of our business partners. In early 2009, jcpenney reached out to all of its fine jewelry suppliers and requested that they make a commitment to responsible sourcing of gold and metals. In addition, jcpenney has joined the Responsible Jewelry Council, which is committed to promoting responsible, ethical and transparent social and environmental practices though a worldwide diamond and gold jewelry supply chain initiative.
