What: Inditex will stop sourcing clothes from Myanmar in phases as a plan to leave the country
Why it is important: Inditex is joining the textile and garment companies that have chosen to pull out of Myanmar.
Due to global labour union IndustriALL’s campaign about not investing in Myanmar because of the state of emergency, Inditex has chosen to responsibly withdraw from the country in phases. This is following the 2021 military coup in Myanmar.
The company has yet to announce when exactly they will leave the country or their number of Burmese suppliers.
Other brands that have participated in the withdrawal include H&M, Bestseller, Benetton, and Primark.
