The apparel company received an A- score from CDP, a global non-profit organisation that “drives companies and governments to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, safeguard water resources and protect forests”. This placed Gildan in the leadership level, which is above the apparel design sector average, as well as the North American and global averages. Companies scoring within the leadership band are recognised by CDP for their transparent and comprehensive disclosure of climate data, thorough awareness of climate risks, demonstration of strong governance and management of climate risks, and demonstration of market-leading practices. Claudia Sandoval, vice president of corporate citizenship at Gildan, said: “Our business model of owning and operating the facilities that produce the vast majority of our products allows us to have direct control over the manufacturing process, and ensure that responsible and sustainable practices are deployed throughout the complete value chain. “We look forward to continuing the journey towards conservation of the environment, and remain fully committed in driving environmental performance improvement as one of our main goals throughout 2020 and beyond.” www.gildancorp.com Gildan’s Biotop wastewater-treatment system in Honduras, which treats water through a natural process using only bacteria, sunlight and gravity Gilmore Crowe, owner of D&G Graphics, won the 2019 Promotion & Branding Show prize draw Dimensions raises £10k for charity Dimensions has reported that it raised £10,665 for three charities in 2019: Doorways Derby, Derbyshire Mind and Save the Children.
