This isn’t just about following our heads and hearts. To help this planet, we have to follow the science.
HanesBrands has signed the Science-Based Targets Call-to-Action Commitment Letter. This means our greenhouse goals are backed by rigorous scientific standards. HanesBrands are committing by 2030 to:
- A 50% reduction in Scope 1 & 2 emissions,
- A 30% reduction in Scope 3 emissions.
By 2025, we will:
- Achieve zero waste across our own operations and support key suppliers to do the same.
- Manufacture and source product only from facilities that have completed the Sustainable Apparel Company Higg Facility Environmental Module (Higg FEM) process and will include Higg FEM scores in our factory compliance evaluations.
We will also drive a range of other Planet goals, by 2030:
- A 25% reduction in energy use in our owned facilities and supporting our key suppliers to do the same.
- The use of 100% renewable electricity in our owned operations through direct investment and renewable energy credits, where reasonably possible.
- A 25% reduction in water use in our owned operations.
All reduction goals are off of a 2019 baseline.

From using less packaging to using more sustainable cotton – it’s not just what we make, it’s how we make it.
By 2025, HanesBrands aims to:
- Reduce packaging weight by 25%.
- Eliminate single-use plastics in our product packaging. Any that does remain we’ll work towards being reusable or recyclable.
By 2030, we aim to:
- Use 100% sustainably sourced cotton and 100% recycled/biodegradable polyester in all HanesBrands products. We define sustainable cotton as U.S. and Australian grown, organic, recycled or sourced through reputable sustainable cotton certification programs
