Haggar Group has adopted CSI values and standards in all its business processes and practices that reduce negative environmental and social impact, and contribute to sustainable development; providing goods and services that address the world’s major challenges of poverty, climate change, resources depletion and globalization.
Our Corporate Sustainability & Social Impact department ensures inclusive practices and strengthening of our governance system, communities and the environment on local, regional and global contexts.
Through CSI measures, the Group addresses the concerns of its stakeholders and strives to maintain a balance between financial profit and socio-environmental best practices.
