Review finds allegations about low pay and poor conditions were ‘substantially true’
A damning report found that Boohoo knew of “endemic” problems across Leicester garment factories in its supply chain, where workers faced serious health and safety violations, including life-threatening fire risks, and were paid less than the minimum wage.
The independent review, which was commissioned by Boohoo but conducted by Alison Levitt QC, found that allegations about low pay and poor conditions were “substantially true” and that Boohoo’s monitoring of its supply chain was “inadequate” because of “weak corporate governance”.
