EAC meeting, 16th December11 Dec 2020 22:27
“As a Committee, we will make recommendations to Government and industry outlining what improvements can be made to boost sustainability and working conditions."
From what I can gather, this has been an ongoing campaign since 2018/19, largely ignored by the government.
The meeting is being attended not only by Mr Kamani but by Andrew Reaney, Group Director of Responsible Sourcing & Group Product Operations of the Boohoo Group.
I must admit that before researching I was not aware that that Boohoo even have a director of responsible sourcing.
If the report is not favourable, I believe Boohoo will have been planning meticulously for this session, ready to confront sustainability issues and use it as an opportunity to put forward commendable longterm plans and however negative the publicity may or may not be, it’s going to be another step in the right direction for Boohoo.
