I want the clothes I buy to be nice, good quality and affordable, but also to be manufactured in places where human rights are respected. Can I count on it by choosing one of the brands belonging to LPP?
Anna Miazga, CSR Coordinator at LPP SA: I am positive you can. Our company is a leader among enterprises that engage in activities for human rights. This applies not only to our domestic stores and branches in Poland, but also our suppliers in Europe and Asia.
How can one be sure that they do not violate human rights? There are terrifying stories about operations of companies in Asia and their exploitation of workers, including children.
We constantly monitor suppliers through our auditors from Poland and from offices in Dhaka and Shanghai. This year, we have additionally launched a control project for all subcontractors in Bangladesh that involves an external partner, SGS company. We react on an ongoing basis if irregularities occur.
Do you already have your first post-control conclusions?
