“Living wage is a key focus area for us. We work with ACT and IndustriAll to improve wages in the industry by establishing industry collective bargaining in key garment and textile sourcing countries, supported by responsible purchasing practices. To deliver this, New Look signed a Memorandum of Understanding with IndustriALL Global Union. Through ACT we are evaluating our own purchasing practices through an internal benchmarking exercise in order to improve and streamline all aspects of production. This year we also supported a joint letter with ETI and other retailers to support the minimum wages committee for the textile industry in Tamil Nadu.”
