Marks & Spencer's response

[Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited Marks & Spencer to respond to concerns raised in a Stop Child Labour report about its efforts to address child labour.] Child labour is totally unacceptable to Marks & Spencer in any form and in any part of the supply chain – we have very strict policies to prevent it occurring and any breach will simply not be tolerated. We have never been presented with any credible evidence by HIVOS and conducted our own investigations following its original report in 2012. No evidence of child labour was found.
