A study has looked into their buying practices
Fashion giants Primark and Zara have come under fire for 'unacceptable purchasing practices'. It comes after a study by the University of Aberdeen and charity Transform Trade looked into their buying practices.
Fiona Gooch, senior policy adviser at Transform Trade, described the findings as a 'wake-up call'. “We need a fashion watchdog to stop unacceptable purchasing practices of the clothing retailers benefiting from large consumer markets, along the same lines as existing protections for food suppliers,” she said.
The study, called Impact of Global Clothing Retailers’ Unfair Practices on Bangladeshi Suppliers During Covid-19, also said large numbers of firms were reported to be buying from factories facing rising costs for raw materials and nearly one in five were struggling to pay the Bangladeshi minimum wage of £2.30 per day.
