When asked why it joined BICEP in 2011, Anvil replied, "our practices have long been aligned with BICEP's core principles: calling for the reduction of greenhouse gases, promoting energy efficiency and supporting creation of a globally competitive clean energy economy." Aside from its commitment to measure, reduce and report its own environmental footprint as well as double the production of organic cotton in the U.S., Anvil has worked hard to educate consumers about making more sustainable choices through various initiatives, including TrackMyT.com, which chronicles the life cycle of a t-shirt from seed to store, and Anvil's digital short, “A Message From Earth: Organic Matters.”
“For a 100-year-old company like Anvil, sustainable growth is a concept that carries special meaning. How does an organization sustain itself through a century of good and challenging economic times, of great political change and unprecedented technological advances, of soaring global population growth and diminishing natural resources? Anvil looks forward to working with BICEP to advance more responsible, low-carbon, energy efficient business practices and policies so that we can be here, and thriving, another century from now.”
