3. Where the products are made?
- in 2000, gap was contracting work out to Chinese and Korean-owned factories on the U.S. territory of Saipan. This loophole allowed the Gap to cut labour costs drastically while still producing clothes that are technically "Made in USA."
- The Gap was part of a settlement from a lawsuit brought against 22 companies for using sweatshop labor in Saipan, a US territory in the South Pacific. The Gap has also been linked to sweatshops in at least six countries.

While the Gap has made some progress towards becoming a more sustainable company, such as promoting diversity and encouraging community involvement, the company has a long way to go before it can be considered socially responsible.
factories in ‘’USA” employed mainly young Chinese women to work in poor conditions and forced pregnant workers to get abortions in order for them to keep working.
Another Indian factory that manufactures for the Gap was the site of 3 deaths in 2007 because it refused to allow employees to leave when they became seriously ill at work.

imagine having to start hard work with very very little pay at the age of eight just to feed or care for you family. you would have no education, that would be your job for the rest of your life. you would be beaten, fed little, and have to work long hours sitting in front of a sewing machine in a crammed factory. you would have to put up with anything- just to survive.

Official store:
In 2006, American traveler Blake Mycoskie befriended children in a village in Argentina and found they had no shoes to protect their feet. Wanting to help, he created TOMS®, a company that would match every pair of shoes purchased with a pair of new shoes given to a child in need. One for One.™
In 2003, a Gap worker was shot to death during a worker protest in Cambodia. Cambodian police opened fire to disperse more than 1,000 garment workers who were protesting working conditions and pay.
Also in a factory in New Delhi in 2007 there were children as young as eight sewing clothes destined for Gap stores.
this impacts badly on peoples lives and shows that when you buy clothes that may not even be from gap, you dont know what people may have gone through just for you to look good.
...
Realizing this movement could serve other basic needs, TOMS® Eyewear was launched. With every pair purchased, TOMS® will help give sight to a person in need. One for One.™
"I was so overwhelmed by the spirit of the South American people, especially those who had so little, and I was instantly struck with the desire — the responsibility — to do more."
—Blake Mycoskie
We give in over 60 countries
We've given 10 million pairs of shoes to children in need, teaching us 10 million lessons.
Since 2006, people like you have helped us achieve this amazing number — and it's leading to bigger, better things! Like giving different types of shoes based on terrain and season, or creating local jobs by producing shoes in countries where we give. TOMS® Shoes are always given to children through humanitarian organizations who incorporate shoes into their community development programs.

150,000 have had their sight restored through purchases of TOMS® Eyewear since 2011.
We give sight in over 10 countries, providing prescription glasses, medical treatment and/or sight-saving surgery with each purchase of eyewear. Not only does a purchase help restore sight, it supports sustainable community-based eye care programs, the creation of professional jobs (often for young women), and helps provide basic eye care training to local health volunteers and teachers.
What started as a company has become a movement
Our movement is made up of many parts, including One Day Without Shoes and World Sight Day, our annual days to raise awareness for the global issues of poverty and avoidable blindness and visual impairment.

Toms is a very globalised company. Did you know by 2011 over 500 retailers were carrying the brand globally in their stores.

Toms have a positive impact on people and their lives, as they’ve got a charity called ‘one for one’ where whenever a customer buys a pair of shoes they give a pair of shoes to someone in need. Also whenever a customer buys a pair of sunglasses they give sight to someone in need by sight surgery, prescription glasses, or medical treatment. And whenever a customers buys a bag of coffee Toms gives 140 liters of water to a person in need.
there is a big big difference between gap and toms. Toms effects peoples life's in a good way, but gap does the opposite. Toms change peoples lives daily by donating some shoes to a person in need and even saving their eye site for life! But Gap just find the cheapest way to make their products to make more and more money. Even though the workers need their jobs in the factories and get payed, they still get very payed minimum money and get treated terribly by the owners of the factory.
