Gildan published its 18th ESG report

Gildan said it published its 18th environmental, social, and governance (ESG) report in July 2022. The report covered its 2021 performance and described work on climate, water, labour, and governance. It also said the company had been publishing ESG reports in line with GRI Standards (a common reporting framework) since 2008 and with SASB apparel standards since 2020. The report included figures such as 39% renewable energy use, a 18% drop in water intensity, and a 15% drop in waste intensity compared with 2018.

Gildan joined SBTi

In early 2022, Gildan signed the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) commitment letter. SBTi is a group that checks whether company climate targets match what science says is needed to limit warming. The company said this was part of its plan to reach the level of decarbonisation needed for the Paris Agreement. It also said it expected to be fully aligned with Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD, a climate-risk reporting framework) recommendations by 2025.

Gildan tied ESG to finance

In 2022, Gildan said it added sustainability-linked terms to its credit facility and linked part of CEO and senior executive pay to ESG targets. This means some borrowing terms and pay outcomes depend on meeting environmental, social, and governance goals. The company also said it would publish its first stand-alone TCFD report in 2022. These steps suggest ESG issues were being built into financial and leadership decisions, not treated as a side project.

Hockerty uses made-to-order production

A menswear article described Hockerty’s made-to-measure model as a way to reduce waste because it only produces items after they are ordered. The article said this avoids excess stock and helps cut textile waste linked to overproduction. It also said the brand focuses on durable fabrics, fair working conditions for tailors and artisans, and careful material sourcing. This is a production model rather than a formal certification, so it should be read as a claimed approach, not independent proof of impact.
