Sun Kyoung Vietnam

The Sun Kyoung Vietnam was a subcontractor for one of Fast Retailing production-partner companies. Our understanding is that a decision to close Sun Kyoung Vietnam was taken for strategic reasons, in consultation and mutual agreement between the company and the factory owner. Although Fast Retailing did not have any direct contractual relationship with Sun Kyoung Vietnam, we confirmed with the company and the factory that all statutory payments were made following the factory closure. In addition, we worked with the company to minimize impact on workers, requesting that the company find positions for workers seeking roles in other factories managed by the company.
