Sustainability at GRG Sports

Intro

Sustainable teamwear starts with where and how it is made. GRG Sports manufactures its custom jerseys, training wear and club leisurewear in the West of Ireland, as a Guaranteed Irish member business, a Sedex-registered manufacturer, and a company audited against the SMETA 2-Pillar and 4-Pillar standards covering labour, health and safety, environment and business ethics.

Irish Made, Shorter Supply Chain

Producing teamwear in the West of Ireland shortens the distance between the factory floor and your clubhouse compared with sourcing from overseas. That means fewer shipping miles per order, faster communication if a design or size needs adjusting, and a supply chain your club can trace back to a single country rather than a chain of overseas intermediaries.

Guaranteed Irish

GRG Sports is a Guaranteed Irish member business. Guaranteed Irish is a recognised national trust mark held by companies that support Irish jobs, Irish sourcing and the wider Irish economy. For clubs and schools who want their teamwear spend to support home grown business, that membership is a verifiable answer, not a slogan.

Sedex Registered and SMETA Audited

GRG is a Sedex-registered manufacturer. Sedex is the world's leading ethical trade data platform, used by businesses to share and assess supply chain practices. On top of registration, GRG's manufacturing is audited under SMETA, the Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, across both the 2-Pillar modules of labour standards and health and safety, and the 4-Pillar modules that add environment and business ethics. Together, registration and audit give clubs an externally recognised standard to point to, not just a claim on a website.

Licensing Status

GRG Sports holds LGFA approval for ladies Gaelic football teamwear. A GAA licensing application is currently under review; this page will be updated the moment that status changes. Full detail on GRG's official licenses is covered on the Licensing and Compliance page.

Where This Is Heading

Sustainability at GRG is a direction, not a finished project. Irish manufacturing, Guaranteed Irish membership and Sedex and SMETA audits are the foundation in place today. As fabric sourcing and packaging commitments are confirmed, they will be added here with the same level of specific, checkable detail, not general claims.
