Fashion retailer H&M has joined the Fair Wage Network initiative as part of its efforts to promote fair wages for workers across its global supply chain.
As a first step, wage structures at more than 200 key suppliers’ factories in China, India, Cambodia and Bangladesh — representing more than half of the entire production for H&M — will be independently assessed by the Fair Labor Association (FLA).
“Wages in our supply chain are a key focus in our sustainability work. Wage structures however are often complex and so are global supply chains,” says Helena Helmersson, head of CSR at H&M.
