H&M saw sales rise globally in 2015 and plans to open 425 new stores in 2016. Brands like H&M wield the potential to transform working conditions through their supply chains.

[...] this report revisits the status of H&M’s commitments to decent work through the lens of rights at work as they are protected under International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions and other instruments.
