CultureThink, Inspire, Do & Deliver!
Think: customers first We make decisions with our customers in mind. We connect with our stores and create the quality our customers value and expect.
Inspire: creativity We think big, take risks and solve problems. We challenge the status quo and always look for new ideas and ways of working.
Do: what’s right We believe that how we do business is as important as what we do. We act with integrity, and we give back to the communities in which we do business.
Deliver: resultsWe deliver the best result possible – we're committed to taking responsibility, setting priorities and meeting our goals.
Gap (PRODUCT)RED ™ isn't charity. It's a new way of doing business.
Gap (PRODUCT)RED started with the iconic "INSPI(RED)“ Gap T-shirt:
Made in Africa from 100 percent African cotton, the T-shirt debuted in the UK in spring 2006. Gap sourced product from Africa for more than a decade — and is committed to giving back to the communities where they do business. As a global (PRODUCT)RED partner, Gap is contributing half the profits from (PRODUCT)RED sales to The Global Fund, to help women and children affected by AIDS in Africa.
