2014-15 Annual Review

Corporate citizenship runs deep through the foundations of David’s Bridal with one of its core values aiming to ensure all suppliers follow the highest of ethical sourcing, manufacturing, and labor practices. To safeguard this standard the Company developed a Code of Conduct that covers: child or forced labor, discrimination, fair and lawful wages and benefits, health, safety and ethical standards, and environmental laws. All suppliers are required to adhere to the code that is monitored by regular audits conducted by third party inspectors, and training is provided to all staff with direct responsibility for supply chain management. In addition, David’s Bridal fully stands by the spirit and terms of California’s Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 which aims to combat and eradicate all forms of human slavery and human trafficking. David’s Bridal is also proud to share its Philanthropic Mission Statement: David’s Bridal Corporate Philanthropy harnesses the spirit of generosity to nurture a culture of care within our company. Our mission is to share that generosity in our communities, with a predominant focus on women’s health and education. We proudly sponsor charitable organizations that share this mission, partnering with them to strengthen our neighborhoods and celebrate our communities.

In 2014, Bright Pink became David’s Bridal’s cornerstone philanthropic partner. Bright Pink is a national organization focused on preventing breast and ovarian cancer through education and its mission is a perfect fit for our philanthropic focus on women’s health and education. David’s Bridal will earmark annual financial funding and promote the partnership through holistic employee, community, and customer campaigns. In addition to Bright Pink, David’s Bridal commits its charitable resources toward quietly serving the needs of the community and the volunteer efforts of its associates. In 2014, David’s Bridal associates volunteered their time in multiple Days of Giving Back for organizations ranging from food bank organizations such as Share to sending baking teams to the Ronald McDonald House. Also in 2014, David’s Bridal sponsored community drives for food banks, winter coat collection and adopted multiple families at a local women’s shelter for Christmas. Corporate associates also participated in “$2.00 Thursdays” for the privilege of wearing blue jeans to work. The funds raised were matched by David’s Bridal and sent to different local philanthropic organizations throughout our community.
