Better Health for All

Vince Holding Corp.'s core products, luxury apparel and accessories, have no significant positive or negative health impact, resulting in no revenue from products with direct health impacts. The company ensures product safety by requiring products to comply with the American Apparel and Footwear Association Restricted Substances List (RSL), which prevents negative health externalities from chemical use.

Vince's business model does not involve health-related products, services, or research, rendering many health-focused KPIs not applicable. While the company implements measures for workplace safety and employee well-being, such as requiring safe working environments, reasonable work hours (not exceeding 60 hours per week), fair compensation, and prohibiting harassment, these initiatives fall under worker respect rather than the 'Better Health for All' value. The company's actions during the COVID-19 pandemic, including temporary store closures and employee compensation, are noted but do not align with the specific criteria for scoring within the global health crisis response KPI.
