About Champion
Who is Champion?
Champion is a popular clothing brand best known for its activewear, particularly hoodies, sweatshirts, and sportswear. Established in 1919, Champion initially created uniforms for college teams and became famous for making the first hoodie. Their apparel is available at major retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon. Champion is owned by HanesBrands Inc., which also owns brands like Hanes and Playtex. They have about 45 physical stores in the U.S. and internationally.
Is Champion Sustainable?
Sustainability is a complex topic, and it can be difficult to determine from a consumer perspective. My response here is based on the information Champion provides, along with background research and clues. Since my blog isn’t focused on verifying sustainability claims, I encourage you to do further research.
That said, they do appear to follow some sustainable practices. According to their various sustainability pages, they aim to improve the lives of 10 million people by 2030 through health, wellness, and diversity programs. On the environmental front, Champion plans to reduce emissions, waste, and water usage, with a goal to use 100% sustainable cotton and recycled polyester fibers by 2025. They also strive to minimize their environmental impact across production and product disposal, making sustainability a core part of their operations. Here are a few of their many sustainability-related partnerships/certifications (linked to evidence where available):
- Fair Labor Association Certification
- Higg Index Leadership
- Sustainable Apparel Coalition
- Bluesign® System
- Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS)
- Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certification
