SUMMARY
Gildan Activewear Inc. (Gildan Activewear), a Canadian activewear manufacturer and distributor, ranks joint 17th out of 65 companies. Since 2021, the company began disclosing a partial first-tier supplier list, with partial data on migrant and women workers, limited information on purchasing practices, the tracing process for labour agencies, and one example of remedy provided to supply chain workers. Notably, Gildan Activewear is the second-highest-scoring company on the theme of Remedy by disclosing relatively detailed process by which supply chain workers grievances are raised and resolved. However, the company did not disclose up-to-date information on its risk assessment methodology or information about how it supports responsible recruitment in its supply chains. As such, since 2021 it was overtaken by other companies in the benchmark that presented stronger disclosure, and its rank has dropped by two places. The company performed below average on the themes of Traceability & Risk Assessment and Worker Voice. The company is encouraged to improve its performance and disclosure on the themes of Traceability & Risk Assessment, Purchasing Practices, and Worker Voice.
