At SanMar, we believe a t-shirt is more than just a shirt—it is a canvas for good. As a premier supplier of imprintable apparel, we understand our role in the industry and the responsibilities that come with it. By keeping the following three key items at the forefront of all our decisions, we strive to be a catalyst for positive change everywhere we do business.

• People: We know our choices can make a difference and positively impact lives. Whether at one of our distribution centers, home office, or one of our supply chain partners, people are at the heart of everything we do.

• Planet: When it comes to making a difference to our planet, SanMar is committed to being a good steward of the environment, which starts by looking inward. We regularly evaluate our operations to assess our performance in terms of energy use and emissions, water use and waste reduction.

• Product: The journey of creating products with positive impact means looking closer at how they are made. We recognize that the choices we make, from design to development, sourcing to manufacturing, can lead to good things when done right.

Blending these three key items is the SanMar Merchandise Donation Fund. This program supports our customer’s charitable efforts in their communities through the donation of apparel or accessories. For eligibility requirements and other information, visit the Merchandise Donation Fund.

SanMar’s Science-Based Target

SanMar has set an ambitious, company-wide target to cut carbon emissions in line with climate science. We are the first supplier in our industry to have an approved science-based target. Our target meets the Science Based Targets initiative’s most ambitious temperature pathway to limit warming to 1.5° C and prevent the worst impacts of climate change.

We have committed to reduce scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions 50% per pound of product by 2030 from a 2019 base year. SanMar also commits to reduce scope 3 GHG emissions from purchased goods and services 50% per pound of product within the same timeframe.

For SanMar – and most apparel companies – the largest share of emissions are generated in the supply chain from raw materials and the manufacturing of our products. As a result, many of our initiatives to reach our target will be focused on reducing the impact of our products and engaging with our suppliers to reduce the impact of their operations.

SanMar is committed to doing our part to combat climate change. The Science Based Targets initiative also independently assesses and approves targets and provides a mechanism for transparency and accountability through their reporting requirements.
