Made in Cambodia - Textile supply chains and investor responsibility in Cambodia

Clothing of the brands GAP, H&M or C&A can hardly be imagined without German wardrobes. But what about the working conditions in the supply chains of the popular fashion brands? What exactly do investors have to do with this? A new case study by Facing Finance and Südwind, with a view to textile production in Cambodia, provides an answer to this question. Together, they searched international fashion companies for their Cambodian suppliers and compared them with the database and audit results of the Better Factories Cambodia program launched by the International Labour Organization (ILO). The juxtaposition resulted in a long list of labour law violations committed by Cambodian suppliers of popular textile brands. But that's not all, because above all they wanted to know to what extent these companies appear in mutual funds of the banks evaluated in Germany according to the Fair Finance Guide methodology and where the expectations and limits of investors lie.
