Leading through action
Many people think of us as a T-shirt company, but there is much more to Gildan’s story. When a small Canadian company called Gildan ventured into the
imprinted sportswear industry, almost nobody thought the upstart could have
any impact in a landscape dominated by multinational brands. But Gildan
surprised the market — and steadily earned more business — with superior
quality products that provided consistent value.
Fast-forward some 30 years, and Gildan has grown to be one of the leading
suppliers of quality branded basic family apparel. This position gives us a
unique opportunity — and a critical responsibility — to serve as a leading
corporate citizen. We operate vertically-integrated, large-scale manufacturing
facilities in multiple countries, and our products — T-shirts, fleece, sport shirts, underwear, socks, sheer hosiery, legwear, and shapewear — are distributed around the globe. As a result, we have a unique opportunity to create a positive impact worldwide.
In these pages, you’ll get a glimpse of how we strive every day to fulfill that
responsibility, challenging ourselves to contribute to the environmental, social
and economic well-being of the communities where we live and operate.
Sustainability is at the core
of our business model
At Gildan, sustainability isn’t an afterthought; it is at the very heart of our longterm
planning and day-to-day business strategies.
Gildan has been included in the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index (DJSI World) for a third consecutive year and is the only North American company to be named to the DJSI World under the Textiles, Apparel and Luxury Goods sector. Earning a place in this prestigious index, which tracks the financial performance of leading sustainability-driven companies worldwide, is a tangible validation of our commitment to safe and responsible working conditions. Gildan is also included in RobecoSAM’s 2015 Sustainability Yearbook as one of its top-scoring companies in the industry.
