The China Ministry of Commerce has found that PVH, the parent company of Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger, engaged in improper cotton sourcing practices in Xinjiang, where allegations of forced labor against Uyghurs persist. Under investigation since September 2024, PVH is accused of boycotting Xinjiang cotton. The ministry is considering adding PVH to its Unreliable Entity list, which targets firms that jeopardize national security. PVH asserts compliance with local laws and continues to communicate with the ministry as it navigates potential implications for its business in China.
