and Governance Approach
ESG at Helen of Troy
We recognize that a thriving society and environment are key to the long-term success of any business.
We are, therefore, committed to not only responding to the evolving needs of our key stakeholder groups, but also to strategically addressing our environmental and social impacts. We live our principles and embed them into how we operate our businesses and organization. It is our aim that through this work we continually earn the engagement, loyalty and pride of our consumers, associates, customers, shareholders, and the communities in which we live and operate.
Code of Conduct
At a minimum, we expect our Company, associates, suppliers, and partners globally to comply with relevant and applicable legal and professional requirements and regulations, our Code of Conduct sets forth our ethical expectations towards all those who conduct business on our behalf.
Our Supplier Code of Conduct is aligned with our ESG Guiding Principles, which outline expected behaviors and standards that we require of ourselves, our partners, and our suppliers globally on human rights and environmental protection.
Corporate Governance Committee
Our Board of Directors, through the Corporate Governance Committee, oversees ESG-related matters, including those related to climate change, DEI&B, and human rights.
Our Vice President, Global ESG, who reports to the Chief Legal Officer, reports regularly to the Board on these matters with ESG as a standing agenda item at scheduled quarterly board meetings, and works directly with the board’s Governance Committee.
