The opportunity

Gildan’s ESG & Communications team is looking for a motivated individual to support the development and launch of the 2025 ESG Report, with a strong focus on ESG rankings and ratings that form a key part of the Company’s disclosure and communications. This role offers hands-on experience in sustainability communications, stakeholder engagement, and ESG disclosure practices within a leading apparel manufacturer known for its vertical integration, strong sustainability commitments, and global presence across the Americas, Europe, and Asia.

Through this role, you’ll help shape the Company’s narrative on ESG performance and support initiatives that drive its sustainability roadmap.

• Coordinate the collection and integration of ESG data and narratives from internal teams across global operations.
• Support the creation of visuals, case studies, and storytelling elements to enhance the impact of the ESG Report.
• Contribute to internal and external communication materials (press releases, web content, employee updates) linked to the ESG Report launch.
• Monitor best practices in corporate sustainability communications and recommend innovative approaches.

The requirements

• Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in Communications, Public Relations, Sustainability, Environmental Studies, or a related field.
• Knowledge of ESG and sustainability reporting standards and frameworks (e.g., GRI, SASB, TCFD, SDGs, CDP) is required.
• Hands-on experience drafting or editing reports, content creation, communications, or ESG reporting content (internships, academic projects, or professional experience).
• Exposure to ESG strategy, corporate reporting processes, or environmental/social impact analysis is preferred.
• Bilingual in English and French (Spanish is an asset).
• Excellent writing, editing, and organizational skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel (data organization, basic analysis, and integration into reporting) and other MS Office tools.
• Strong research and analytical abilities.
• Creative thinker with an eye for detail.
• Team player with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Attention to detail and ability to synthesize complex information into clear, engaging content.
• This position requires proficiency in a language other than French to support customers, employees or markets located outside the province of Quebec or requiring services in a language other than French – mainly English.
