H&M: The promise of living wages and the reality of poverty wages

In November 2013, H&M publicly promised to create remuneration structures in all ‘gold’ and ‘platinum’ factories of its ‘strategic and preferred suppliers’ by 2018, enabling the payment of ‘fair livelihood wages’ for 850,000 employees.

The five-year deadline for H&M to implement its commitment has now expired. Therefore, the Clean Clothes Campaign conducted research to check how much the workers earn in some of these subcontracting companies and how close this income comes to a living wage.

The shocking result: None of the interviewed workers earns a living wage.
