TJX is the leading off-price retailer of apparel and home fashions worldwide, with seven retail chains operating more than 4,500 stores in nine countries spanning three continents. As a leader in global retail and a Fortune 100 company, we recognize the obligation we have to our key stakeholders – Associates, customers, communities, vendors, and shareholders – to operate a responsible business. At TJX, this includes: integrating strong corporate governance practices at the Board level; fostering a culture that reflects our core values and supports our position as a destination of choice for consumers; and operating and sourcing ethically to meet our customers’ desire for great value on ever-changing selections of quality, fashionable, brand name and designer merchandise.
Our business dealings and interactions are grounded in our long-held core values of honesty, integrity, and treating others with dignity and respect.
We hold ourselves to high ethical standards and expect all of our Associates to comply with these standards, which are set forth in the TJX Global Code of Conduct. Likewise, our Vendor Code of Conduct sets our expectations of the merchandise vendors with whom we do business and whose relationships are key to our success. We provide periodic training, both formal and informal, to reinforce these expectations.1
Just as we are committed to our core values of honesty, integrity, and treating others with dignity and respect, we expect those that we do business with to do the same.
Our governance principles guide our approach to business dealings, decisions and interactions, and we seek to operate with the highest standards of ethical conduct.
We strongly believe that for our policies and practices to be effective, they must evolve and be informed by the perspectives of our many stakeholders.
