(Alliance News) - Online fashion retailer boohoo Group PLC on Monday published a list of its international factories in an effort to increase transparency within its supply chain.
The list details around 1,100 factories and forms part of the company's transparency pledge to publish information on production within twelve months of an independent review.
The list shows factories in Bangladesh, Cambodia, China, India, Italy, Morocco, Pakistan, Turkey, Vietnam, and the UK.
The 17 recommendations from the independent review have formed boohoo's 'Agenda for Change' programme, aimed at improving transparency and to meet wider ethical aims.
"The Agenda for Change programme was designed to ensure that the changes we made to our business are sustainable and embedded into our culture as we look to the future," said Chief Executive John Lyttle.
"The dedication of our teams to delivering real change has meant we have been able to achieve the challenging targets we set ourselves and I'd like to thank everyone who has been involved in this, both inside boohoo group and all of the external partners we have worked with, for their commitment."
The group also announced that it plans to sign the International Accord for Health & Safety, a legally binding agreement aimed at improving working conditions for garment workers.
boohoo shares were 2.0% higher at 264.79 pence each in London on Monday morning.
