Our Global
Value Chain
Our value chain includes the people and businesses involved in making and transporting our products, as well as our customers and the communities where we operate. Since we do not own any raw materials or manufacturing facilities, we use a global network of third-party suppliers, primarily located in Asia, to source our garments and other products. The remainder of our products largely come from North America, Central America, and Africa.
Our sourcing operations are based in Hong Kong to facilitate efficiency and manage the volume of manufacturing in Asia. We also have supporting sourcing operations in Cambodia, Vietnam, China, and Bangladesh. A full list of our Tier 1 suppliers can be found on our website.
During fiscal year 2023, approximately 74% of our product was sourced from Cambodia, Vietnam, Bangladesh, and India, and approximately 73% of the cotton fiber that was used in the manufacture of our products was sourced from the United States, Brazil, India and Australia.
