Intensified efforts in Bangladesh
We take the unrest in Bangladesh very seriously. We are, through our colleagues at the H&M office in Dhaka, closely monitoring the development.
As a longterm buyer, we support increased minimum wages in Bangladesh as it creates better working conditions and a stable labour market. Since we don´t own any factories, we don’t set any wages. Consequently, we focus our resources where we can actually make a difference. We have since last year stepped up our engagement even further, with the goal to help strengthen workers’ influence over their situation through our on-going project that strives to improve communication between workers and factory management.
