To help mitigate the spread of Covid-19 and in response to public health advisories and governmental actions and regulations, VF Corp., Denver, CO/USA, has modified its business practices, including the temporary closing of offices and retail stores, instituting travel bans and restrictions and implementing health and safety measures including social distancing and quarantines.
The zero-tolerance policy in China is impacting some specific raw material suppliers within the country. The majority of VF's supply chain is currently operational. Most final product manufacturing and assembly suppliers are back to normal operating levels. Continued port congestion, equipment availability and other logistics challenges have contributed to ongoing product delays.
