Beyond the Blank: Building the Business of Better Basics with SanMar

What does it take to turn sustainability from a long-term aspiration into measurable business strategy? Emily Gigot, director of sustainability at SanMar, explains how one of the world’s largest suppliers of blank apparel is embedding sustainability across its operations — from factory engagement and Higg FEM adoption to Better Buying transparency and science-based climate targets. Emily shares why collaboration matters, how supplier feedback is shaping purchasing practices, and why sustainability teams should think more like a pit crew than a solo driver to keep goals on track.
