Embracing Our Responsibility
Who we are
We established our company in 1969 with a brand called Gap and a promise to make it easy to buy a great pair of jeans. Since then, our family of brands has grown to include Banana Republic, Old Navy, Piperlime, and our newest addition, Athleta.
Today, we’re one of the world’s largest specialty retailers — with more than 3,000 stores and 134,000 employees. As we've expanded, so have our goals for the impact we want to make as a socially responsible company.
In fact, social responsibility is more important and integral than ever to our company’s success. It’s a lens we use across the company to improve our operational efficiency, productivity, employee engagement, and ultimately, our profitability. In addition, we encourage each brand in our corporate family to go above and beyond these fundamentals in ways that best serve their customers and communities. Our brands are creative forces with unique opportunities to implement their own ideas, from exploring ways to make their clothes more sustainable to fostering a culture that supports responsible business practices.
