Ralph Lauren Corporation designs, markets and distributes premium lifestyle products in five categories: apparel, footwear & accessories, home, fragrances and hospitality.
The company has taken action to mitigate risk and provide its teams with enhanced resources and support amid the COVID-19 pandemic, applying insights and learnings from its experience in China, which is now beginning to stabilize.
Following temporary closures of our offices, stores and fulfillment centers around the world, Ralph Lauren will continue to assess its operations on a location by location basis, heeding the advice of local governments and global health organisations to determine when to return each location to business.
