The goal we share with our stakeholders is to work toward improving the lives of workers producing our products, ensuring an ethical and stimulating work environment, and respecting and enhancing the local communities in which we operate. To engage in dialogue, share ideas and build consensus, we invite groups representing workers and factories, students, colleges, trade unions, academia, governments, local communities and consumers to communicate with us.
This can be done through a variety of methods, including face-to-face meetings, focus groups or round tables facilitated by external independent facilitators, workshops and seminars, confidential questionnaires, and anonymous feedback. Our belief is that engagement should be mutually beneficial and highly transparent, that the focus should be on common ground and creative solutions, and that the outcome should lead to real value for both the company and its stakeholders.
Already this dialogue has resulted in us working in collaboration with stakeholders to address questions with regard to our operations. We believe that positive communications will result in strong mutual trust and a better understanding of the issues we are facing. If you or your organization is interested in being involved in this dialogue or for more information, please contact us at cc@gildan.com or at (514) 343-8814.
