H&M GROUP REACHES CLOSE TO A MILLION WORKERS WITH ITS FAIR LIVING WAGE STRATEGY
Wages are one of the greatest challenges for the textile industry. To address this crucial topic on both factory and industry level, H&M group launched a strategy five years ago, the first of its kind, with the vision that a fair living wage should be paid by all its suppliers. We are proud to have reached and exceeded our very first milestone on this journey. The work we do at factory level – to create the foundation and processes for fair living wages – has grown from covering three factories in 2013 to now reaching 655 factories employing more than 930,000 garment workers.A human right
