Fashion giants Primark and Zara have come under fire for 'unacceptable purchasing practices'. It comes after a study by the University of Aberdeen and charity Transform Trade looked into their buying practices.
The two brands are among many others revealed to be paying below the cost of production. The research found the majority of factories selling to the largest retailers were paying the same prices despite the cost of raw materials increasing.
The Daily Record reports suppliers named 1,138 brands they had contracts with in February 2020. Of those, 37% were reported as having engaged in unfair practices.
