Gap Inc. communicates progress to its stakeholders through its website, biennial Social Responsibility Reports, formal stakeholder sessions and ongoing informal stakeholder outreach, dialogue and partnerships.

In November 2006, Gap Inc. released updated information about its social responsibility commitments at www.gapinc.com/socialresponsibility.

This new information builds on the strengths of the company’s 2004 social responsibility report, which resulted in Gap Inc. being named one of the top 50 leaders in reporting by SustainAbility.

The new gapinc.com content includes the most recent results of the company’s inspections in the factories that make its clothes, including data on factory approvals and terminations. In this latest release, Gap Inc. also provides information on new initiatives and elements of its program that previously appeared only in the first two social responsibility reports, including:

- How business decisions and practices can affect working conditions;

- Stakeholders, key partnerships, and external evaluations;

- The evolution of the company’s Global Compliance team; and

- Efforts to minimize the company’s impact on the environment.

Gap Inc.'s commitment to the UN Global Compact is mentioned on its website and in its 2003 and 2004 Social Responsibility Reports. The company’s efforts to improve working conditions in supplier factories and its participation in the Business Leaders Initiative on Human Rights (BLIHR) [www.blihr.org] may be of particular interest to those seeking to understand how Gap Inc. is working to uphold UNGC principles. To see the specific relationship between Gap Inc. program initiatives and the UNGC, please see the index in the 2004 social responsibility report.
