VS&Co has been a long-time partner of the Pacific Links Foundation (PAL), an organization that seeks to prevent trafficking by empowering Vietnam's most vulnerable populations with economic opportunities by investing in and educating at-risk youth and helping survivors to build new lives.
We know the supply chain work we do also affects the communities where we operate. As a result, we are committed to advancing human rights by:
• Mitigating the risk of gender-based violence and harassment through training and monitoring in our supply chain.

VS&Co has worked with PAL for 17 years funding 3,100+ scholarships, 1,500+ career orientation summer camps and 600 bicycles for girls to commute to school in Vietnam, where paying for education in rural areas is a challenge for most families and often leads to a life of poverty.
