Gildan.
Part of your life.
From your favourite concert T-Shirt to the ones your kids wear to school... we know there are most likely Gildan garments in your drawers!
Because we touch so many lives, we take great pride in delivering premium quality, great value products. We have also taken a holistic approach to genuine corporate stewardship, with a focus on every part of the manufacturing process and product lifecycle.
Industry-leading corporate, social and environmental responsibility
In sourcing the best raw materials we are proud to use USA Cotton, ethically grown and harvested under strict labour and environmental regulations.
As a vertically integrated manufacturer, we know the largest impact of apparel manufacturing is to the water supply. Our innovative Biotop Treatment System uses gravity, micro-organisms and UV light to virtually eliminate the dyes and chemicals from our wastewater, which is then shared with local agribusiness and recycled into our plants.
With over 20,000 dedicated employees, we are proud to be the world’s only basic apparel manufacturer whose labour compliance program is accredited by the Fair Labor Association. Our sewing facilities are also WRAP certified, and our internal code of conduct mirrors that of leading NGO’s.
Gildan leads the way in product safety, with the only shirts that carry the prestigious Oekotex Standard 100 certification. Its lead content criteria alone is 150 times more stringent than the recently passed US regulations. Our youth products are all CPSIA Tracking Label compliant.
Gildan is committed to the communities where we operate, with charitable donation programs focused on youth education and humanitarian aid. We create sustainable development projects such as the Central American
Polytechnic Institute, where the next generation of technicians, engineers, trainers and supervisors will emerge.
We are very proud of our accomplishments and remain committed to developing industry-leading corporate, social and environmental initiatives.
