Chinese fast fashion giant Shein says it found two cases of child labour in its supply chain last year as it tightens scrutiny of the companies that make the clothes it sells.
The firm says it temporarily suspended orders from the suppliers involved and did not resume business with them until they had stepped up efforts to tackle the issue.
The revelation in Shein’s 2023 sustainability report comes as it is understood to be planning to sell shares on the stock market.
The company has been criticised for the conditions faced by workers at factories in its supply chain.
[…]
The firm said the two cases were uncovered during the first nine months of 2023 and none were found in the last quarter of the year.
It comes as the company lays the groundwork for a potential sale of shares on the stock market.

I am shocked, aghast even
Bewildered, flabbergasted,
Utterly confuddled.Honesy, mostly that there were only two cases.
that and that shein investigated themselves and… DID find wrongdoing
If they said they didn’t find any, then everyone would know it was a whitewash. So they decided to “find” a small amount and then pat themselves on the back.
It’s good to see so many children helping out the community so everyone can be equal. ‘Communist’ China is such a pure and unspoiled utopia.
Next we’ll be shocked to hear Temu uses Uyghur slave labor 😐
