“HanesBrands is very content to earn our eighth consecutive Energy Star Partner of the Year award, and all of the credit goes to each of our more than 68,000 worldwide employees who are committed to energy management and environmental responsibility,” said Javier Chacon, Chief Global Manufacturing Operations Officer, and a team from Hanes, who will accept the award on behalf of the company, adding, “We have made significant progress in reducing our environmental footprint, but remain steadfast in our drive to achieve the company’s 2020 goals. Doing so is a win-win-win for the environment we all share, the communities in which we operate, and our company and its stakeholders.”
