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 HanesBrand family, we're aiming to improve the lives of ten million people by 2030. 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.
As part of HanesBrands, we’ve partnered with GIVIT, a non-profit organisation that works to alleviate poverty by connecting those who have with those in need. Since our partnership began in 2018, we’ve collectively donated over 2,500,000 items to people in need.
