Carters strive to have a positive impact on the communities where it operates, including supporting local organizations and activities that strengthen our communities.
We seek to improve overall quality of life in the communities in which we operate. We have revised our approach to charitable donations to focus on humanitarian aid, youth education programs and sustainable development within local communities. The specifics of our community involvement initiatives are adapted to suit the local situation and the unique needs of each community.

Environment:
Carters has implemented our Greener Options bag in all of our locations. In 2009, over 3000 bags were given away at no cost in order to assist in preserving our environment from the clutter of plastic bags. Greener Option bags are available at all locations at a cost of $3.00.
