==Corporate Accountability==
[http://www.coopamerica.org/programs/rs/profile.cfm?id=229 Co-op America profile]: "Gap brand stores are so popular that a shopping center without a Gap or its subsidiaries, Banana Republic and Old Navy, is a rare sight. Gap has used its popularity to promote pro-diversity measures and encourage community involvement, and the company is now an EPA Climate Leader. Gap has also developed a supplier code of conduct to address unethical labor issues, however, sourcing from non-compliant factories continues to be a problem for the company. Examples of Gap's labor abuses include mandatory and unpaid overtime work; sub-poverty wages; and unhealthy working conditions. Gap is showing an interest in addressing labor violations but it needs to apply greater energy and solicit stronger efforts from industry cohorts to make lasting changes. Measurable results from such interest remain to be seen."
