Company Earns A- and B Ratings, Scoring Ahead of CDP Program Averages in Peer Comparison
Hanes’ A- water score was higher than the apparel industry and
The company’s B supply chain score was ahead of the supply chain average in all reporting categories: governance and strategy, risk and opportunity management and emissions management.
Hanes, unique in the apparel industry because it owns the significant majority of its manufacturing and supply chain operations, achieved its CDP scores for implementing a range of best practices to reduce water use and mitigate water risk, along with a holistic program to reduce energy consumption in its supply chain.
Hanes previously announced the company’s above-average score of B for carbon emissions in the CDP 2016 Climate Change Report.
“Hanes CDP scores for carbon, water and supply chain validate our
commitment to building a sustainable legacy for our company, our
employees, our investors and our consumers,” said
The company, which ranks No. 172 on Newsweek Magazine’s 2016 list of top U.S. green companies, has achieved significant reductions in its environmental footprint and has established even more ambitious goals for 2020.
Since 2007, the company has reduced energy consumption by 25 percent, carbon emissions by 21 percent, and water use by 31 percent, and established renewable energy sources for 25 percent of its worldwide energy needs. The benefits of the company’s reduced carbon footprint are equivalent to those provided by more than 2 million tree seedlings grown for 10 years.
The company has set 2020 goals of 40 percent reduction in energy use and carbon emissions, 50 percent reduction in water use, and sourcing renewable energy for 40 percent of the company’s needs.
