"H&M FIRST MAJOR FASHION RETAILER TO BRING PRODUCT TRANSPARENCY TO SCALE", 23 April 2019

... we are dedicated to transform the fashion industry and make it more sustainable – and more transparent...

For each of our garments, we now share details such as production country, supplier names, factory names and addresses as well as the number of workers in the factories. In addition, customers can find out more about the materials used to make a specific garment. By sharing extended details on where our garments are made we make it easier for customers to make more informed choices when shopping.
