No cheap fast fashion comes without someone somewhere paying the price.
Just a few highlights…
👗Boohoo, a fast-fashion company, has been found to break promises of fair and ethical clothing production in a recent undercover investigation
👗This comes after Boohoo pledged to overhaul its practices in 2020, following reports of poor working conditions in a Leicester factory.
👗The investigation revealed a culture of relentless price-cut demands, undermining promises of fair pricing for suppliers.
👗Boohoo imposed shorter lead times for garment orders, increasing pressure on suppliers and potentially affecting working conditions.
👗The company's own factory, Thurmaston Lane in Leicester, was found not to align with its public statements regarding ethical practices.
They need to do better! But will they try if the sales keep rolling in?
