Primark and Zara bosses have come under fire for 'unacceptable purchasing practices' recently uncovered by Scots researchers
Primark and Zara bosses have come under fire for 'unacceptable purchasing practices' recently uncovered by researchers.
“Only when suppliers are able to plan ahead, with confidence that they will earn as expected, can they deliver good working conditions for their workers.” Larger brands buying from many factories were engaging in unfair purchasing practices more often than smaller brands, the supplier survey said, and every brand buying from 15 or more factories was reported to be engaging in at least one of these practices. The survey also found that post-lockdown, garment factories cut a quarter of their workforce, which report authors said suggested up to 900,000 workers could have lost their jobs.
