“We take this announcement from IndustriALL and IWFM very seriously. Local and international unions are one of our key partners in responsible sourcing, and we recognise the difficulties they have faced in Myanmar since 1 February,” the company said in a press note.
The company said it has a responsibility to assess the impact its business decisions may have on human rights, and this is a process it will now go through.
Bestseller is, however, committed to its placed orders, enabling crucial payment of wages to workers in the factories.
The duration of the impact assessment is yet to be determined but will not exceed the production time of the orders that have been already placed.
