How we conduct business
For us, stewardship goes well beyond the balance between what we take from
the environment and what we return to it. We conduct internal audits at our
owned facilities each year in order to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness
of all our Environmental Management System. Doing so ensures that we deliver
on our commitment to employees, customers and all other stakeholders, as
well as comply with the laws and regulations of the communities we call home.
Tread lightly on the earth
As a growing population puts ever more pressure on the earth’s finite
resources, we believe that we must do more than comply with environmental
regulations to preserve the planet and its inhabitants. To make a genuine
impact, Gildan is committed to developing and implementing innovative
solutions that reduce our environmental footprint throughout our entire supply
chain, improve the lives of those who work for us or live near us, and ensure our long-term competitiveness.
Since 2010, Gildan has decreased its GHG emissions intensity by 45%. In 2013,
we achieved our 2015 GHG reduction goal ahead of schedule with a 32%
reduction of GHG emissions intensity resulting from our owned operations,
per kg of product (20% reduction goal when compared to our 2010 baseline).
In 2014, we continued to exceed our GHG goal by reducing GHG emissions by
45% when compared to the 2010 baseline. We mainly attribute our continuous
GHG emissions decrease to the gradual conversion from bunker fuel to
biomass. We recycled 90% of our total waste.
