"Primark worked hard at every stage to find cost mitigations, diverting as much of these savings as possible back to the supply chain. In April 2020, the company established a ‘wages fund’, an advance payment to suppliers to support their ability to pay wages. This covered factories in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Vietnam for work on Primark products in production. Almost £23m was paid out in total."

In India, 46 staff of our suppliers have received training through My Journey to date.

In Myanmar, 12 suppliers’ factories have received training on the ACT FOA guideline to date.

In Turkey, 198 staff of our suppliers have received training by our local Turkey team and MUDEM on effective recruitment practices and remediation to date.

Our top 100 suppliers attended our annual Supplier Conference in January 2020 which addressed our updated requirements in line with our Code of Conduct.""

I have changed the answer to No because these countries are mentioned in the context of COVID support to suppliers and training to suppliers rather than a general disclosure of their supply chains.
