Let's be fair | Safe, just and equal fashion | H&M

Like many fashion brands, we don’t own the factories where our clothes are made. But we want everyone involved in making our products to have a safe, fair and equal working environment. Our aim is to make sure our values are respected every step of the way, in every country and by every supplier. So, how do we do this? 

Any supplier working with us must sign our Sustainability Commitment which is a set of standards regarding fair wages, good working conditions, animal welfare and much more. This is non-negotiable.

To ensure our suppliers live up to our agreement, we employ dedicated sustainability staff in our worldwide production offices who make regular visits and audits. We also provide training to workers and suppliers to help them work in a more sustainable way.

Although there are challenges in many countries in which we operate, our size makes it possible for us to actually make a difference. That’s a great thing about being one of the big guys! By committing to the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, supporting workers to earn a fair wage and by taking a clear stance against corruption, we want to lead the way towards a fair fashion future.
