At the time members of Congress in a letter to chair of the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), Gary Gensler said: “Shein’s growth is attributed to a business model that harvests vast amounts of consumer data using complex algorithms and manipulates an enormous supply chain across China to manufacture goods rapidly to meet consumer demand. Shein has come under heavy criticism for utilising underpaid labour in its supplier factories and violating human rights.”
But a spokesperson for Shein told Just Style: “Shein has no suppliers in the Xinjiang region. Our suppliers are based in regions including Brazil, Southern China, and Turkey. We take visibility across our entire supply chain seriously, and we are committed to respecting human rights and adhering to local laws in each market we operate in. Our suppliers must adhere to a strict code of conduct that is aligned to the International Labour Organization’s core conventions. We have zero tolerance for forced labour.”
