Disclosure 2021 Fabric mills and laundries use a great deal of water to dye and finish fabric, (W3.3b) which may cause issues with both water quality and quantity; these issues also affect workers and their communities. India faces a high level of water stress for some of our preferred mills and the people who work there. In addition, most of our products include some cotton, and its production affects both the environment and people. Farming and processing cotton typically involves the use of large quantities of water and chemicals, and often takes place in regions facing water and climate risks. Changes in water access and water-related events such as drought or flooding could affect the cost of cotton, which is used in the majority of Gap Inc.’s products, and other raw materials. Gap Inc.’s Supply Chain and Sourcing team monitors and responds to risks for key raw materials using a multi-factor model that includes cotton prices.
