Old Navy

Old Navy launched in 1994 as Gap Inc.'s value brand and grew into the company's largest division.

The brand says it democratizes fashion, making style affordable for every family, with sustainability commitments carried mostly at the parent level.

It sells value-priced family apparel: denim, tees, activewear, and kids' clothing at very high volume.

Parent-company programs on cotton and water bring some scale benefits; the gap is fundamental, since a low-price, high-volume model with limited product-level disclosure sits close to fast fashion.
