Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certification
In April 2004, Gildan became the first manufacturer catering to the wholesale imprinted activewear market in North America to obtain the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 certificate.This internationally-recognized standard allows producers and consumers to objectively assess the presence of harmful substances in textiles and apparel products. The tests criteria currently include around 100 human-ecological and performance-related tests parameters. The testing also includes simulation tests, which take into accounts way by which harmful substances could be absorbed into the human body.Textile and apparel products may be certified according to the Oeko-Tex® Standard 100 only if all components meet the required criteria. Thus, testing covers raw materials, intermediate materials, and end products, including not only apparel fabrics, but also sewing threads, buttons, zippers, and other components and accessories.Fair Labor Association (FLA) Social Compliance Initiative (SCI)With the arrival of the FLA SCI in 2012, we decided to reassess our previous goal and base our social management system on the SCI Initiative. In 2011, we started to review our social compliance program to adopt a more completed management system approach, which we pursued in 2012 and will continue to develop in 2013 using the SCI methodology.
