At Berlei, we create thoughtfully designed, high-quality products that are made to last. We're committed to a journey of positive change, by taking meaningful steps to minimise our environmental impact and maintain strong responsible sourcing standards.
Together with our global HanesBrands family, we’re working to achieve a set of long-term goals that align with our values and responsibilities.
The power of people
At Berlei, we're all about supporting women in more ways than one and inspiring you to feel good. Our philosophy of support encompasses all that we do including the products we produce, the environmental resources we use, the supply chain we operate within, and every person who works with us. It also extends to how we contribute to our community and strive to maintain the highest standards of governance.

Our goals
Together with our global HanesBrands family, we're aiming to positively impact the lives of at least 500,000 people per year. We will do so by:
Supporting our global employee base, and those of our suppliers, through a broad range of programs including education, health and wellness, and diversity and inclusion.
Maintaining robust ethical sourcing practices and remaining committed to human rights and responsible sourcing.
Supporting communities through our partnerships with Breast Cancer Network Australia and GIVIT.
Since 2004, we’ve been a proud partner of Breast Cancer Network Australia (BCNA). Together we share a common vision to help every woman feel secure in the belief that nothing, not even cancer can hold her back. To learn more about our partnership with BCNA and the My Care Kit program, click here.
GIVIT are a national not-for-profit that partners directly with councils, recovery outreach teams, charities and community groups to connect those in need with those who can help, ensuring that Australians experiencing hardship receive the essential goods and services they need, when they need it most.
Since our partnership began in 2018, Berlei together with our Hanes Australasia family has collectively donated over 2,500,000 items to people in need.

We’re working towards using 100% preferred cotton in our products by 2030. We define preferred cotton as U.S. grown, Australian grown, organic, recycled or sourced through reputable sustainable cotton certification programs. We are also working towards embedding circularity across our business model, including circular design principles, minimising waste across the value chain, and engaging in industry partnerships.
By 2030 we're aiming for:
100%
Preferred cotton
In supporting you, it’s also our mission to be more supportive of our planet. We're conscious of the impact the fashion industry is having on the environment. That's why we're passionate about reducing our footprint, not just in our offices, factories and supply chain, but also through our packaging. With the help of the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), we're continually learning and evolving our packaging to be more sustainable.
Eliminate single-use soft plastics in our product packaging, where possible, and work towards reducing specific problematic packaging components.
