"Training and Capacity Building

We build supplier knowledge and capacity through regular training. On an annual basis, we:

• Train all new Tier 1 and 2 suppliers, through our onboarding process, on our RSC program and VCoE expectations, management systems and measures needed to remediate issues, and CAPA commitment delivery expectations.

• Provide existing suppliers with training on any RSC program updates and new tools.

• Deliver targeted training to address specific regional risks, such as forced labour, and support facility improvements.

In 2022, we delivered 36 mandatory supplier trainings on program updates and our evolved assessment tool. We also provided all Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with mandatory e-learning on forced labour prevention.

Internally, we build the requisite organizational competencies through training on human rights and our RSC program requirements. Our RSC team provides training for key lululemon decisionmakers from supply chain and product functions on updates to the RSC program, strengthening their ability to support all stages of responsible supply chain management, including identification and management of human rights-related risks, such as forced labour. In 2022, 190 employees were trained on the updated RSC program, and 229 internal decision makers participated in mandatory forced labour training."
