H&M Group joins call to action to support garment workers

To jointly tackle the immediate effects of COVID-19 and continue work towards a more resilient garment industry once the crisis has passed, H&M Group joins a global call to action alongside the ILO, IOE (International Organisation of Employers), ITUC (International Trade Union Confederation), IndustriALL Global Union, employers’ organisations, and brands.

The call to action contributes to a collaborative way of working when it comes to protecting garment workers’ income and employment, and supporting employers to survive during the crisis. H&M Group is in close dialogue with for example financial institutions to find solutions for manufacturing suppliers and garment workers. 

H&M Group will also work in collaboration to promote the establishment of sustainable systems of social protection. In addition, H&M Group will continue to stand by its commitments and agreements by taking delivery of and paying for already produced goods as well as goods in production, if delivered within a reasonable timeframe.
