Better Materials.
Responsible Manufacturing.
From raw material to finished product, we work to reduce environmental impact and deliver reliable knitwear for our global partners.
Our Approach to Sustainability
Sustainability is integrated into the way we select materials, manage production and work with our supply chain. Our approach focuses on four key areas that help us move toward more responsible and transparent manufacturing.
Better Materials
We prioritize more responsible material options, including recycled, organic and other lower-impact fibers where applicable.
Responsible Supply Chain
We work with qualified suppliers and factories and encourage responsible social and environmental practices throughout the supply chain.
Lower Environmental Impact
We promote continuous improvement in areas such as energy, water, chemicals, emissions and waste management.
Traceability
We support supply chain transparency through material documentation, certification and traceability processes.
Better Materials, Better Choices
Materials are an important part of a product's environmental footprint. We continue to explore and adopt more responsible alternatives that can help reduce environmental impact while meeting product quality and performance requirements.
Recycled Materials
Supporting the use of recycled fibers and materials to help reduce reliance on virgin resources.
Organic & Responsible Fibers
Exploring certified organic and responsibly sourced fibers where suitable for product requirements.
Preferred & Innovative Materials
Evaluating lower-impact and innovative material solutions as part of our ongoing material strategy.
Supporting Certified Materials
Material claims require reliable documentation and appropriate certification. We work with our supply chain to support certification, verification and documentation requirements for eligible materials.
Certification
Supporting recognized certification requirements for eligible fibers and materials.
Documentation
Maintaining required material and transaction documentation throughout production.
Verification
Supporting testing and verification where material claims require additional evidence.
A More Responsible Supply Chain
Responsible manufacturing goes beyond the final product. We work with our suppliers and production partners to strengthen environmental and social responsibility throughout the supply chain.
Supplier & Factory Management
Working with qualified production partners and maintaining appropriate supplier and factory information.
Assessment & Auditing
Supporting factory assessments and audits to identify areas for improvement.
Corrective Actions
Following up on identified issues and supporting corrective improvement plans.
Continuous Improvement
Encouraging long-term improvements in environmental performance and production practices.
Reducing Our Environmental Impact
We encourage continuous improvement across our production processes, focusing on the environmental areas that matter most to responsible manufacturing.
Energy & Emissions
Improving energy management and supporting more efficient production practices.
Water Management
Monitoring water consumption and promoting responsible water use and wastewater management.
Chemical Management
Strengthening chemical inventory, handling and monitoring practices.
Waste Management
Improving waste classification, handling and responsible disposal practices.
Continuous Improvement
Using environmental data and improvement plans to support measurable progress.
Smarter Packaging
Packaging is another important part of our sustainability approach. We aim to reduce unnecessary packaging and explore recyclable, recycled and lower-impact alternatives wherever practical.
Reduce Unnecessary Packaging
We work to minimize non-essential packaging components and use only what is needed to protect the product.
Replace with Better Materials
We explore paper, cardboard and other alternatives to unnecessary single-use plastics in our packaging design.
Optimize Packaging Design
We improve packaging design while maintaining the product protection required for safe delivery.
Transparency Through Traceability
Traceability helps connect materials, suppliers, factories and production processes. We support accurate supply chain records and appropriate documentation to improve transparency from raw materials to finished products.
Raw Materials
Fibers and materials sourced with documented origin.
Suppliers
Qualified partners with appropriate records and documentation.
Production
Documented manufacturing across our partner facilities.
Verification
Testing and documentation to support material claims.
Finished Product
Reliable knitwear delivered to our global partners.
From Fiber to Finished Product
We work to maintain visibility across the supply chain and support the documentation needed to verify responsible material claims.
Building a More Responsible
Future Together
Sustainability is a continuous journey. We will continue working with our customers, suppliers and manufacturing partners to explore better materials, improve production practices and build a more transparent and responsible supply chain.
