The IDA has refused to say what assurances controversial fast fashion retailer SHEIN gave it on sustainability and workers' rights before opening its European headquarters in Dublin.
It was announced earlier this month that SHEIN had launched its EMA headquarters in Dublin. Minister for Enterprise, Simon Coveney said that he “warmly welcomed” the announcement that could create 30 new jobs in 2023. The company has also run several pop-up shops across the country.
There has been regular criticism of the Chinese fast-fashion company SHEIN’s environmental impact. There have also been concerns raised over their workers’ rights.
