Chinese fast fashion retailer Shein -- the subject of recent controversy around alleged labor rights abuses -- says it plans to invest $15 million to improve working conditions at factories

The money will be spent over the next three to four years to physically upgrade hundreds of factories belonging to its suppliers, the company said in a statement issued Monday. Shein is an online shopping upstart that sells its cut-price fast fashion apparel all over the world. In October, the UK’s Channel 4 broadcast a documentary that made allegations of labor exploitation against two of Shein’s factory suppliers in China. Staff were allegedly working 18 hours a day making pennies per item.

“While these are significantly less than claimed in the documentary, they are still higher than local regulations permit,” the statement said, adding that both suppliers have until the end of December to fix the situation or the company “reserves the right to take action against them.” Shein said it has reduced orders from the two producers by three-quarters in the interim.
