Boohoo Criticized for Rehiring Supplier GN Euro

Boohoo is facing renewed criticism for re-engaging with GN Euro, a supplier previously cut off due to modern slavery concerns in 2021. GN Euro, now operating under the name Euro Touch at a new factory in Morocco, has resumed supplying Boohoo, raising ethical questions about the retailer's commitment to responsible sourcing. Despite Boohoo's claims of transparency and strict vetting processes for suppliers, campaigners argue that issues persist in its supply chain. The controversy comes amid Boohoo's ongoing efforts to restore its image following a scandal that revealed poor working conditions and underpayment in its factories, initially exposed by The Sunday Times. Boohoo's spokesperson reiterated the company's dedication to high standards but critics remain skeptical, emphasizing the need for stronger accountability in the fast fashion industry. Meanwhile, Boohoo's largest shareholder, Frasers Group, increased its stake in the company, highlighting ongoing tensions ahead of a crucial meeting.
