Environmental Metrics

 

DID YOU KNOW

HanesBrands has been a leader in its environmental programs for years.

HanesBrands has made significant progress since 2007 when it began formally tracking and reporting on its energy use (including renewables), greenhouse gas emissions, water use, and waste generated/diverted from landfills. Below are details outlining our performance on a range of metrics. We are proud of our progress to-date but recognize we must do more – hence the aggressiveness of our 2025 and 2030 sustainability goals.
