Sustainability is one of VF’s powerful global business platforms, which provide shared enabling capabilities across the company’s 30-plus brands.

“At VF, sustainable business practices influence everything we do, from how we develop new products to how we manufacture and distribute items,” said Scott Roe, Vice President and Chief Financial Officer at VF. “As chair of the Sustainability and Responsibility Leadership team, Letitia continues to champion real change across VF and the industry. Her promotion is recognition of this meaningful progress and the growing importance of the sustainability function within our organization.”

Webster works across the company and in partnership with VF’s brands and Supply Chain to implement and manage sustainability programs, including launching VF’s first sustainability report, helping to reduce VF’s greenhouse gas emissions by 6 percent in 2015 (compared to 2009 levels) and achieving ‘zero-waste’ designation at seven VF distribution centers. She recently led the company’s pledge to power all VF-owned facilities with renewable energy by 2025.

An outdoors enthusiast, Letitia joined The North Face brand in 2000, where she was responsible for the strategic marketing group. She launched the brand’s sustainability program in 2006, including leading the adoption of bluesign, a system for sustainable textile production.
