Brett Mathews of Apparel Insider writes that FASHION RETAILERS SAY THEY WILL STAND BY BANGLADESH: Amidst ongoing disruptions in Bangladesh’s garment industry due to the gas crisis and protests, several major fashion brands and apparel retailers have pledged ongoing support to their suppliers.
Brands and retailers including Next, Marks and Spencer, Tesco, PUMA Group, Primark, and PVH Corp. have committed to maintaining stable orders, timely payments, and fair practices.
All have suspended penalties for delivery delays, avoided price concessions, and ensured wages for workers in Bangladesh are paid on time and in full.
