Thanks to your efforts, Primark caved to public pressure and disclosed a list of where its factories are! Well done you.
Close to 70,000 signatures were presented to Primark, including 10k+ from our #StepUp petition. Your demands, alongside other Clean Clothes Campaign activists around Europe, were presented at Primark stores in a number of cities earlier this year, in gift-wrapped golden boxes suggesting that Primark add transparency to its new years' resolutions.
We're delighted that Primark has now responded to this demand. Campaigning works. This data will be useful for workers' in factories around the world struggling to uphold their rights and keep brands accountable.
It’s a huge step in the right direction but there’s still a long way to go yet.
In other news around transparency, on March 20 LBL attended the Big Tent on transaprency in Brussels. Organised by the International Corporate Accounability Roundable and the Clean Clothes Campaign organisations working on transparency were brought together to foster new connections and to learn about the various approaches being taken to promote supply chain transaprency.
In solidarity,
Anna, Caroline & Dominique
