About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

The Legacy and Future of Gildan Respects™

By: 3BL Media

SOURCE: Gildan Activewear

DESCRIPTION:

Gildan recently announced the launch of Gildan Respects™, a new global positioning and creative campaign to support the communication of Gildan’s "Next Generation” ESG strategy and future targets. This initiative unites Gildan’s ESG communications and marketing under one global message to further elevate the appeal of Gildan’s responsibly-made apparel.

We sat down with Jeffrey Cooper, Vice-President of Marketing, and Genevieve Gosselin, Director of Global Communications and Corporate Marketing, to learn more about Gildan Respects™, the legacy from which it follows, and the ambitious future it seeks to accomplish.

Q: Can you tell us about the history of ESG communications and marketing at Gildan?
Genevieve: Gildan has a 20+ year track record of developing and implementing ESG programs. Our commitment to operating responsibly, ethically, and transparently has always been core to our long-term business strategy and success. But apart from our ESG reports that we have been publishing consistently for the last 17 years, we communicated our ESG efforts only at a small scale until 2015.

We believe that actions should speak louder than words, and we have spent two decades putting in the work to make meaningful advancements on the ESG-front before placing more focus on speaking about it.

As the years went by, and sustainability became a more important topic to all, we began to see a demand for more information about how and why we chose to operate the way we do.

Q: Why a new ESG positioning now?
Genevieve: The time was right. Our ESG team was developing Gildan’s Next Generation ESG strategy, which focuses on five areas:

  • Climate, energy, water
  • Human capital management
  • Circularity
  • Long-term value creation
  • Transparency and disclosure

Simultaneously, we were preparing to announce our new strategic business plan, Gildan Sustainable Growth, which includes ESG as one of its three core pillars. Repositioning our ESG brand, closely following the launch of both strategies gave us the opportunity to align and evolve together.

Jeffrey: We were also looking to make our ESG messaging more compelling for our customers. Gildan’s ESG program is so vast and overarching that it is often difficult to boil it down to a simple, accessible line. Gildan Respects™ bridges this gap, effectively conveying our message in a manner that works across our marketing and communications, and I am confident that Gildan Respects™ will be a powerful narrative to more effectively communicate our ESG practices to our customers.

Q: Why Gildan Respects™?
Jeffrey: Gildan Respects™ captures authentically what Gildan has always stood for. It is simple yet powerful enough to deliver the message that we operate responsibly, ethically, and transparently, from both an environmental and social standpoint.

Genevieve: Gildan Respects™ provides us a compelling platform to present our ESG story and how our ESG practices have evolved over time. It allows us to show our stakeholders that it is possible for apparel to be made more responsibly, both in terms of the final product, as well as the processes and people that go into it.

Q: Why move away from Genuine Responsibility™?
Jeffrey: Genuine Responsibility™ was launched as an agnostic brand a few years ago. Since then, our Company and brand strategies have evolved and called for a need to bring our ESG communications and marketing closer to home. Genuine Responsibility™ allowed us to come a long way, and we’re hoping Gildan Respects™ will take us even further. Much like our ESG journey, our communications journey has been one of growth and this rebranding initiative is a testament to our continued commitment to it, and to transparently sharing our journey with the world.

Q: What are you most excited about this campaign?
Jeffrey: I am most excited to see the reaction from our customers worldwide and their feedback on the campaign, as well as how our ESG marketing pushes new boundaries.

Genevieve: Echoing what Jeff said, I am also excited to see our stakeholders’ reactions globally. I’m particularly excited to see how employees react upon seeing how the platform has evolved.

Jeffrey: Finally, I am excited for what’s to come. This launch is just the first step in the many exciting activations and initiatives we are planning to bring this new platform to life in 2022 and beyond.
