Mothercare has a strong track record, over many years, of acting responsibly to tackle ethical trading issues and achieve better outcomes for workers…also an active member of the local Tirupur Stakeholders’ Forum (TSF), which was set up directly to tackle the issue of Sumangali Schemes and includes representatives from brands, local NGOs, trade unions and suppliers…Mothercare Responsible Sourcing Team is working with a number of our South India suppliers to investigate any issues that may be present at their factories and mills. Also, we continue to work with local experts and NGOs to understand and tackle the root causes of common issues that are faced by factories in this region.
