Gildan's innovative BIOTOPe wastewater treatment system is just one example of our eco-leadership. Gravity takes wastewater into treatment lagoons (shown below) where micro-organisms convert the dyes and chemicals into natural waste. The resulting cleaner water is recycled into the factory or shared with local communities. The eco-benefit is dramatically reduced energy and water consumption compared to traditional methods.

Gildan's products all carry the Oekotex Standard 100 certification, your assurance that no harmful chemicals or materials were used in the manufacturing of our products.

Our Environmental Code of Practices guides us to reduce our environmental footprint and governs everything we do, from purchasing to manufacturing.

 As one of the industry's only vertically integrated manufacturers, Gildan is able to control every step of the process because our products are made in OUR factories.

In an industry where human resources play such a large part, Gildan is most proud to be the world's only basic apparel manufacturer whose labor compliance program is accredited by the Fair Labor Association. Our generous compensation and benefits programs are 'best in breed' and as a result we have 17,500 employees world-wide committed to delivering the very best quality, highest value products to you.

In today's world, "talking a good game" is no longer enough. Gildan is the industry's only brand to issue an annual Corporate Citizenship Report which documents our performance on corporate, social and environmental initiatives.  This report also outlines our goals for the future.

Choose Gildan on your next order and learn why "setting the standard" is more than just our slogan.
