Quality and innovation items.

Fully integrated Gildan factories take advantage of an unyielding quality system. All products are certified  OEKO-TEX Standard 100 and meet the most drastic safety demands : Consumer Product Safety Act and Flammable Fabrics Act in the USA, General Directive on Product Safety in the EU …Every item, every component is tested on a regular basis to determine its total harmlessness, and particularly the absence of heavy metals, phthalates (?), or any other harmful substance. Recent technological innovations, in terms of anti-microbial properties ( Freshcare ), or thermoregulatory and anti-dampness ( Aquafx ), meet the same standards.

A massive and flexible supply.

First maker in the world in numbers of produced items, Gildan is on top of a production capacity in excess of one billion pieces a year, thus offering its customers with the possibility of being supplied rapidly through massive inventories. Scores of millions items are available in order to meet very short delivery terms. A great flexibility in flowing supply management is then possible. In front of a market more and more demanding for reactive action this is a major asset, quite specific of the company.

A responsible and citizen-minded partner.

The company has planted more than 35 000 trees and 25 000 shrubs since 2008. It currently recycles 91 % of its total waste products and has reduced by 32 % its gas emission of greenhouse gases. Renewable resources cover more than 52 % of the energetic consumption. What applies to our planet also applies to men : Gildan puts sustainability at the heart of its long-term planning and also of its daily commercial strategies : Investment in training, commitment in the communities where the company is active, particularly education and health. Refreshing of schools, creation of libraries, financing of scholarships, equipped clinics offering over 100 000 free medical cares per year… Consequently, the company is certified Sedex, Wrap. It is even the only cloth maker in the world to obtain the accreditation of its social chart by the Fair Labor Association. It is also the only one in its area of activity to have been included in Dow Jones Sustainability World Index. This is essential on an ethical as well as a commercial viewpoint: Associating the image of one’s product, or even one’s own image, to a Gildan tee-shirt is relying on a real ecological and social responsibility, thus taking no risk at all on these subjects.
