Gildan Announces Launch of New Gildan Respects™ Campaign

25 April 2022: Gildan Activewear Inc. has announced the launch of Gildan Respects™, the global positioning of its environmental, social and governance (ESG) program and a creative campaign supporting the Company’s “Next Generation ESG” strategy which was unveiled earlier this year. Uniting all ESG communications and marketing under one global message, Gildan Respects™ aims to reinforce the appeal of Gildan’s approach to making apparel products.

Gildan Respects™ campaign will further bring the Company’s strong ESG approach to life by surfacing stories behind the Company’s ESG initiatives and progress. It will underscore the Company’s long-lasting commitment to manufacturing its products with respect for the environment, circularity, people, communities, and transparency.

“As an ethical and sustainable apparel manufacturing company, “respect” has been at the foundation of our ESG success for the last 20 years. This is why it seemed natural to make “respect” the central theme of our new ESG communications and marketing efforts to bring our story to life,” says Chuck Ward, President of Marketing, Sales, and Distribution at Gildan. “Our journey has been one of growth, and the central focus on “respect” is a testament to our continued commitment to elevating our story in a thoughtful and authentic manner. We have come a long way and we intend to go even further with Gildan Respects™.”

The new branding and creative campaign will be activated through content on various platforms, including the release of an anthem film and documentary series, social media marketing, display advertising, and a renewed digital experience on websites and social platforms across Gildan’s global communication and marketing efforts.
