Citing Anvil Knitwear's commitment to further integrate environmental and social performance into the company's U.S. and international facilities, Anvil has been approved by the Ceres board of directors as a Ceres company.
Anvil Knitwear, a leading designer, manufacturer and marketer of high quality activewear, joined Ceres to help advance its environmental and social responsibility goals. Anvil is one of more than 70 companies in the Ceres company network.
“From their eco-friendly manufacturing processes to their organic cotton t-shirts, Anvil's commitment to improving the company's overall sustainability will have a positive impact both for the corporation and the apparel industry,” said Mindy S. Lubber, president of Ceres, “We look forward to working with Anvil to further integrate sustainable practices into their business strategies.”
Anvil launched its sustainability program with the establishment of a comprehensive environmental policy that has executive management and board of director endorsement. The company has seen a growing demand from customers for sustainable products and has continuously discovered that business practices that are environmentally sound are also fiscally sound.
Anvil is working to incorporate sustainability at every level of their business from facility specific projects to the distribution of their 100% organic cotton line, AnvilOrganic. Current company initiatives include the use of environmentally sustainable methods in manufacturing processes, recycling programs, waste diversion and wastewater treatment processes, energy conservation programs, and employee education.
