UK: Labour group demands school uniform supplier Trutex release supplier list for greater transparency; Trutex responds to petition


In July 2019, Labour Behind the Label launched a petition, demanding that school uniform supplier Trutex publish a list of the factories they source from. The labour group argues that while Trutex promises a commitment to ethical production on its website and assurances that its production sites are safe, it has no evidence to prove this. 

In August 2019, Trutex responded in a letter to Labour Behind the Label, stating that they had no legal obligation to publish the factories they source from, and that doing so would "represent a commerical risk" to their business. 

The full response can be found below.
