In its 2023 sustainability report, Shein revealed two instances of child labour and minimum wage violations within its supply chain, raising ethical concerns ahead of a potential IPO.
Workers' rights activists and the British Fashion Council have voiced significant concerns regarding Shein's supply chain transparency, calling for the government to halt its London Stock Exchange listing.
An investigation by Public Eye found alarming conditions for Shein's workers, including excessive 70-hour weeks, forced labour allegations in the Uyghur region, and issues relating to design appropriation.
Despite tightening its supplier policies to immediately terminate contracts in case of child or forced labour violations, Shein's ethical practices continue to come under scrutiny as it pushes for a UK IPO.
