After the BBC broadcasted a report showing female workers complaining about their working conditions, the Spanish textile group, which owns Zara, got one of its suppliers to rebuild its factory, which it owns but where none of its brands was produced. (Ref. 080560)
No direct
relationship with the factory. The quick reaction
of the Spanish company is ever more remarkable since the factory accused,
located in Dhaka, officially only has indirect links to the group. Indeed, its production
doesn’t go to Inditex directly, the BBC’s report showed unsanitary working conditions, and an employee testified that their hierarchal superiors abused
them, verbally and physically, sometimes hitting them or keeping parts of their
salary when they were accused of malpractice.
