GUANGZHOU – Chinese researchers representing human rights non-profit Public Eye have exposed exploitative practices at supplier factories for fast fashion brand Shein which violate the country’s labour laws.
The organisation’s investigation of 17 factories in Guangzhou, China, unearthed a system of excessive overtime and unrealistic targets.
“Through its combination of a cutting-edge online strategy and archaic working hours, the Chinese newcomer is perfecting the fast fashion industry in a particularly insidious manner,” Public Eye says in a statement.
