VF Corp sharpens philanthropic focus
Clothing and footwear group VF Corporation has appointed a director for its Global Impact team as part of a “sharper philanthropic focus”.

Gloria Schoch joins the group from Molson Coors Brewing Company where she led corporate social responsibility programmes.

At VF, whose brands include Timberland and The North Face, she will support non-profit organisations that encourage active lifestyles and help shape how VF measures global impact.

Anita Graham, VF’s head of HR, said: “We recently enhanced the VF Foundation with a sharper philanthropic focus aligned to our corporate purpose of making a positive impact on people and our planet; this is the perfect time to bring on someone with Gloria’s experience to advance our purpose-led agenda.” 

“She brings a strong background that sits at the intersection of community investment strategy, environmental stewardship, and public policy and grant making, and she has successfully operated at the local, national and international level.”
