H&M says it will cut its 'indirect business relationship' with Huafu Fashion in China until it gets 'more clarity around allegations of forced labor.'

Swedish clothing giant H&M said on Tuesday, September 15, it was ending its relationship with a Chinese yarn producer over accusations of"forced labor" involving ethnic and religious minorities from China's Xinjiang province.

However, H&M said in a statement that it had never had a relationship with the factory in Anhui, nor Huafu's operations in Xinjiang. The company also said it had conducted"an inquiry at all the garment manufacturing factories we work with in China aiming to ensure that they are not employing workers...through what is reported on as labor transfer programs or employment schemes where forced labor is an increased risk."
