"With the goals of increasing the transparency of our supply chain, taking on a greater responsibility to ensure good labor conditions, and addressing issues concerning human rights and the environment, Fast Retailing discloses information on our partner factories on the company website. We have been publishing and updating annually a list of core sewing factories* since 2017, and aim to publish a list of all sewing factories with whom we have continuous business relationships in March 2022.
In addition, we are increasing the mapping and traceability of the supply chain. In 2018, a list of UNIQLO core fabric mills was also published. In 2021, we began publishing a list of fabric mills that have been continuously producing materials for GU products as well as the factories that core Fast Retailing group sewing factories outsource some processes to (washing, printing, etc.)."
