SanMar’s mission and values have inspired its creative apparel offerings in each of its new product roll outs. Throughout the process, from design and development to sourcing and manufacturing, SanMar is dedicated to making investments that enhance its sustainability, the company said in a press release.
With C-FREE, SanMar crafts styles with tracking through Carbonfree Certification. With Carbonfree Certification, SanMar measures a product's carbon footprint and removes an equivalent number of emissions from the environment through purchasing carbon offsets. SanMar’s first exclusive C-FREE styles, crafted from recycled polyester, feature snag-proof and moisture-wicking material to perform in all situations. Customers can shop these products knowing the apparel has undergone rigorous carbon footprint tracking and the associated emissions are offset with targeted reduction projects. SanMar’s commitment to corporate responsibility extends beyond sustainable apparel to investing in employees and their communities through responsible sourcing, charitable giving and cultivating an inclusive workplace.
With the Port Authority’s C-FREE snag-proof polos and quarter-zips added to the collection, customers can make an impact in their office or workplace while reducing their environmental impact.
“SanMar’s mission to create positive change is the driving force behind today's C-FREE announcement. This launch, in partnership with Carbonfund.org, unites SanMar's commitment to sustainability in the industry with our values of doing good in our communities,” Pat Noonan, chief product officer at SanMar, said in a statement.
“SanMar is trailblazing sustainability in the apparel space. We’re excited to collaborate with an industry leader and certify SanMar's C-FREE apparel line as we take a measurable step in helping offset the industry's environmental impact and accelerate its transition to a cleaner energy future,” Eric M. Carlson, president of Carbonfund.org Foundation, said.
