Social compliance isn't just a business model, it should become a way of life. --Marty Lott, President
Other Ways We’re Making a Difference

We Save Gas and Retain Great People

More than 45 million Americans telecommute. SanMar joins this growing trend with our At Home program which unclogs roadways, saves gas and improves the quality of life for employees.

We Conserve Precious Resources

For years, SanMar catalogs have used paper with a minimum of 10% post-consumer waste... saving trees, water and energy. We also meet strict Forest Stewardship Council certification standards.

We Run Energy Efficient Facilities

We take steps to conserve energy by incorporating energy efficient lighting in our new distribution centers and by upgrading the lighting in our existing facilities.

We Invest In Our Communities

SanMar supports our employees’ and customers’ charitable efforts through major fundraising efforts and donations of apparel and accessories.

We’re Committed to a Robust and Transparent Social Compliance Program

SanMar is a participating company with the Fair Labor Association (FLA). The FLA is a non-profit organization that combines the efforts of companies, colleges, universities and non-governmental organizations to promote adherence to international labor standards and to improve working conditions worldwide.

“SanMar takes social compliance very seriously and requires all suppliers to adhere to our Global Operating Principles,” says Marty Lott, SanMar president. “This process begins during supplier selection as it is critical that suppliers share our commitment to ethical practices and agree to abide by our strict requirements prior to receiving orders.”
