Gildan recognised as one of Canada’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens

Gildan Activewear has been included on Canada’s Best 50 Corporate Citizens list by Corporate Knights for a fourth consecutive year.

Gildan is one of only two companies in the Textiles and Clothing Manufacturing sector to be included.

In addition to this, the company has also been recognised on TIME’s World’s Most Sustainable Companies list, which is now in its second edition. Gildan is one of 13 Canadian companies featured on this global list and is one of only two Canadian companies recognised in the Apparel, Footwear & Sporting Goods industry subcategory.

Glenn Chamandy, president and CEO of Gildan, said: “ESG is a key pillar of Gildan’s Sustainable Growth strategy, and we have shown time and again that sustainability goes together with business success; recognition from Corporate Knights and TIME affirm this.

““This achievement would not have been possible without our dedicated teams, who have been working hard to bring to life our Next Generation ESG strategy, and I am confident that we will continue to deliver on our commitment to making apparel with respect.”
