Where in the world is the supply chain for the item you are wearing? Still remember that 4 years ago, a garment factory building in Bangladesh collapsed, killing 1,138 people, and the world discovered that the fast fashion clothes you are wearing were actually produced by them. Has the production environment of these brand clothing improved four years later? According to the latest survey by the British non-governmental organization Fashion Revolution, the fashion transparency index of the world's top 100 fashion brands is all below 50. The well-known MK, Giorgio Armani, PRADA, Chanel, Dior, and forever21 are even below 10, which means the origin is unknown. , the supply chain is completely opaque, and there are only a handful of companies with a transparency higher than 40. For example, Gap discloses its origin, and its website details the countries from Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, etc., and H&M’s official website also details Most of the production areas are from third world countries. Four brands, including H&M, have begun to adjust their practices. In addition to improving working conditions and wages, the green labels on clothes represent recycled clothes, and recycled plastic bottles and other materials are reused. . The RANAPlaza, a garment factory building in Bangladesh, collapsed tragically on April 24, 2013, killing as many as 1,138 people. It shocked the world. At that time, there were international voices demanding that companies improve the working environment of garment factories and improve the supply chain. Transparency, but not much has changed now, 4 years later. Reuters reporter Worsley: "The latest research shows that as consumers, we don't know where and how the clothes we buy are made, or whether our money has been taken away from us. "Supporting exploitation and violation of human rights, as well as environmental destruction, etc." The British non-governmental organization Fashion Revolution released a fashion transparency index of the world's top 100 fashion brands. The results show that no brand has an index higher than 50, which means that the place of production of clothing is unknown. The supply chain is completely opaque. Sarah Titi, representative of Fashion Revolution: "Basic health and safety measures still do not exist in many garment factories in the fashion industry. 80% of garment factory workers are women, aged between 18 and 35. In modern times, A version of slavery appears in the apparel supply chain. "Among the top 100 companies, there are three brand indexes, the internationally renowned fashion brand Dior is one of them, and many other world-famous brands also fail to meet the transparency standards. , including Chanel, Prada, Giorgio Armani, Michael Kors and Forever21, etc., all have indices below 10. Fashion Revolution representative Sarah Titi said: “As a consumer, I truly believe that we don’t want to exploit the people who make our clothes, but we have no way of knowing if we are supporting injustice. ” There are only a handful of brands with transparency higher than 40, and there are only 8 companies, namely Adidas, Reebok, Marks & Spencer, H&M, Puma, Gap, etc. ” European Parliament Representative Aniliz: “What is needed now is the overall structure of Europe.

And in Europe, as consumers, we can also be sure that the clothes we buy are made in "It meets the standards." 34 of the top 100 brands have publicly promised to pay workers in the production chain higher than the minimum wage, but saying it and doing it are two different things, because the survey found that only Four brands are working towards this goal, namely Marks & Spencer, New Look, Puma and H&M. H&M’s 2017 aesthetic promotional video emphasizes that clothing itself can be sustainable. In fact, H&M has created the so-called green label since 2011. If you actually go to the mall, you will find that there are many varieties. . H&M Japan Customer Service Manager Otis: "These pants 86% are made of recycled polyester fiber and are made from old clothes." As long as there is a green label on the clothes, it means that they are recycled clothes and are recycled. Made from reused materials such as polyester fiber or PET bottles. H&M Japan Customer Service Manager Otis: "If businesses don't learn how to operate within the limited resources of the earth, there will be no long-term future.
