Online fashion giant Boohoo publishes º£½ÇÊÓÆµ supplier list amid transparency drive

The move comes six months after an independent review led by a QC

Boohoo has published a list of its º£½ÇÊÓÆµ suppliers

Online fashion giant Boohoo has published a list of its º£½ÇÊÓÆµ suppliers as part of a push to be more transparent in the wake of an independent review led by a QC.

The Manchester-headquartered listed company has revealed the 78 approved manufacturers which operate across 100 sites in the º£½ÇÊÓÆµ.

The names have been released six months after Boohoo accepted all the recommendations of a probe led by senior lawyer Allison Levitt.

That review found major failings in its supply chain in England in the wake of allegations in the Sunday Times about working conditions and low pay.

A statement issued to the London Stock Exchange said: "The group's consolidated º£½ÇÊÓÆµ supply chain list is the result of extensive mapping and auditing work, introducing changes to the way it works with its suppliers in order to create stronger partnerships and more sustainable business practices.

"The group has been working with independent auditors Verisio and Bureau Veritas to carry out unannounced visits to suppliers and over the last eight months the majority of suppliers have been audited twice.

"Suppliers will continue to have their operations and standards monitored frequently to drive long-term positive change.

"Alongside this, Boohoo is pleased to announce the launch of its new Sustainability Strategy; UP.FRONT Fashion Ready for the Future. UP.FRONT establishes bold targets against priority issues in three key areas; smarter manufacturing of clothes; better terms for suppliers; and action in responsible business practices to reduce our carbon footprint."
