MADE WITH RESPECT AMERICAN APPAREL ® TM
LEARN HOW GILDAN® AND AMERICAN APPAREL® MAKE THEIR APPAREL WITH RESPECT.
American Apparel is made with the utmost respect for resources, both human and natural. As part of the Gildan family of brands, we devote as much attention to what goes into the apparel manufacturing process as what comes out of it-from the farm, to the factory, to fostering a circular economy.
We believe our consideration for the planet as shown by our past and current ESG initiatives at Gildan set us apart from the rest. From reducing fossil fuel consumption and carbon emissions, to managing water consumption and cleaning wastewater so it’s safe to return to nature after use, Gildan is continually increasing the energy efficiency of its apparel manufacturing.
Respect for the environment
We’re committed to ensuring responsible consumption and production patterns. From recovering our waste directly within our supply chain, to using recycled polyester and high-quality, sustainably grown materials, Gildan is committed to significantly reducing our impact on the planet.
Respect for circularity
At Gildan, human rights, ethical labor and inclusivity are priorities. Whether it’s through ensuring fair wages, empowering workers to develop skills and pursue education, offering a higher standard of living, giving access to free medical care to some of our manufacturing workers and maintaining safe and healthy work environments, we understand that treating people with respect and dignity is essential to our company’s success.
Respect for people
We believe it’s vital to create and support positive community development in the countries we operate in. From providing youth education and strengthening social programs to offering employee programs to inspire and connect, Gildan is proud to continually grow and strengthen our supply chain ecosystems.
Respect for communities
Honesty and ownership are two values at the core of Gildan’s business model. The visibility we have over our manufacturing is rare in our industry. Not only can it inspire people to think differently about what they wear, but it can also contribute to the global conversation surrounding supply chain transparency.
