Gildan is one of the largest manufacturers of vertically integrated clothing and socks in the world. Gildan uses cotton grown in the USA, which represents the best combination of quality and value for Gildan cotton-blend products. Since 2009, Gildan has proudly exhibited the USA cotton brand, licensed by Cotton Council International, on consumer product packaging and shipping materials. The environmental program achieves two main objectives: reducing our environmental impact and preserving the natural resources used in our production process. At all operational levels, Gildan is aware that we operate as part of a greater unity: the environment in which we live and work.
