Hugo Boss nimmt Stellung zu Kritik an arbeitsrechtlichen Bedingungen in Zuliefer-Fabriken

On 3 May, Dr. Gisela Burckhardt of the women's rights organization FEMNET gave a speech at Hugo Boss' AGM criticising labour conditions at supplier factories and alleging that social audits currently fail to detect these abuses. We invited Hugo Boss to comment on the allegations and to answer the questions raised in the speech. Hugo Boss sent us a statement saying that all questions raised were answered at the AGM but that they are open to engaging further with Dr. Burckhardt directly. They also referred to their sustainability reporting and website. The speech and full statement are available in German below.

Es wird auch der Vorwurf erhoben, dass die durchgeführten Sozialaudits Verstöße gegen Hugo Boss Sozialstandards nicht aufdecken. Wir haben Hugo Boss eingeladen, zu den Vorwürfen Stellung zu nehmen und auf die in Frau Burckhardt's Rede gestellten Fragen zu antworten. Die Antwort von Hugo Boss finden Sie untenstehend.
