When „best“ is far from good enough - Violations of workers’ rights at four of H&M “best-in-class” suppliers in Cambodia

As with many other garment producing countries exporting to the European and American market, Cambodia has been in the spotlight because of its poor working conditions and low wages for apparel workers. The country’s garment sector engages some 750000 workers in more than 1000 factories.
The report is based on interviews with garment workers in 4 H&M supplier factories in Cambodia in February and March 2016. The factories are rated by H&M as gold and platinum suppliers. Several violations were identified in each of the factories. The H&M platinum suppliers, Eastex, Vanco and Seduno, were presumed to perform better than the selected gold supplier, M&V. However, general working conditions at the platinum suppliers were actually worse than the gold rated supplier M&V.
