Improve our cotton traceability system to ensure sustainable sourcing.

To be confirmed
Progress:
As child labour and forced labour have been identified in the production of cotton from Uzbekistan, in 2012, Gildan established a process requiring all business partners to confirm, by means of a signed statement, that they do not use or procure any cotton fiber, originating from Uzbekistan in any supplies of yarn to our organization or in the manufacturing of our products. In 2013, we will further continue the assessment of our cotton supply chain in order to improve its traceability.
