Gildan Activewear has unveiled new environmental and social sustainability targets, with the firm keen to reduce its carbon emissions, boost its use of ‘preferred fibres’, and better support workers and their communities by 2030.
The company’s strategy comprises five pillars: climate, energy and water; circularity; human capital management; long-term value creation; and transparency and disclosure.
“This next generation strategy will push us to deliver even stronger ESG performance and continue to reinforce Gildan as a leading ethical, sustainable, and efficient apparel company,” said Glenn Chamandy, the business’ president and CEO.
