Welcome
Our Values
With nearly 50,000 employees worldwide, Hanesbrands Inc. has one goal: to be a world-class consumer goods company with a distinctive competence in operating a low-cost, global supply chain.

Our mission is to profitably grow our leading brands by intimately understanding our consumers, by out-executing our competition and by leveraging our sustainable competitive advantage.

We do this by adhering to our core values:
  •  Integrity/Ethical Standards
  •  Inclusivity/Diversity
  •  Quality/Superior Performance
  •  Reliability/Commitment

Hanesbrands lives by these core values, which is evidenced in our historic track-record of leadership in responsible conduct:
  •  Our Global Business Practices (GBP) employee code of
     conduct has been our guiding practice since the 1990s.

  •  Our Global Standards for Suppliers (GSS), a supplier code of      conduct, has been in place for more than a decade, years before      similar codes.
  •  Hanesbrands was pivotal in the creation of the Worldwide      Responsible Apparel Production (WRAP) program since  the late      1990s to establish common standards in social compliance.
  •  Our Global Environmental Management System (GEMS) ensures      smart environmental principles are integrated into our daily      business: waste minimization, resource conservation, minimizing      overall environmental impact and enhancing value.
  •  We’ve always given money and employee time generously to help      meet the fundamental needs of our communities.  For example,      we’re the largest contributor in our home county to United Way, and      are involved in numerous activities in the communities in which we      live and work.
