Hanes Brands

🚨 Reasons for Boycotting Hanes Brands

Hanesbrands Inc. is an American apparel company founded in 1901, headquartered in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, USA, and listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The company owns brands including Hanes, Champion, Bali, Playtex, Maidenform, L'eggs, Just My Size, Bonds, and Bras N Things. Hanesbrands was acquired by Gildan Activewear Inc. for $2.2 billion on December 1, 2025. Through its supply chain relationship with Delta Galil, which operates in illegal West Bank settlements, the company indirectly supports the occupation and contributes to the normalization of genocide.

1. Supply Chain Relationship with Delta Galil — Production in Illegal Settlements: Hanesbrands has a supply chain relationship with israel-based textile giant Delta Galil Industries Ltd. Delta Galil manufactures intimate apparel for Hanes. Delta Galil operates a logistics and warehousing centre in the Barkan Industrial Zone in the West Bank and has retail branches in illegal settlements such as Ma'ale Adumim, Pisgat Ze'ev, and Ramot through its subsidiary Delta israel Brands. Delta Galil has been blacklisted by the UN Human Rights Council (OHCHR) for its settlement activities. By sourcing from Delta Galil, Hanesbrands directly contributes to this illegal settlement economy.Boycott Directory: Hanesbrands Inc. — This brand is a client of Delta Galil Industries, an israeli textile manufacturer with production facilities in illegal West Bank settlementsACHACT: Delta Galil owns factories in israel and operates a logistics centre in the Barkan industrial zone, a settlement in the West BankWho Profits: Delta Galil — Warehouse in Barkan industrial zone (West Bank), retail branches in Ma'ale Adumim and Pisgat Ze'evGlobes: Delta Galil acquires Bogart Group — a strategic supplier to brands including Victoria's Secret, PVH, Jockey, Adore Me, Vanity Fair and Hanes (June 2019)
2. Acquisition of Hanesbrands by Gildan Activewear: Gildan Activewear Inc. completed its acquisition of Hanesbrands Inc. for $2.2 billion on December 1, 2025. The deal was announced in August 2025. Hanesbrands shareholders will own approximately 19.9% of Gildan shares following the merger. This acquisition has led to a significant change in Hanesbrands' corporate structure; however, the supply chain relationship with Delta Galil continues.Nasdaq: Gildan Completes the Acquisition of HanesBrands (December 2025)SEC Filing: Gildan Activewear — HanesBrands shareholders to own ~19.9% of Gildan shares upon closing (August 2025)
