John Lewis Partnership response re remediation to migrant workers in Mauritius

BHRRC outreach to John Lewis Partnership

Several months after the publication of Transparentem’s report we are inviting all brands identified in the investigation as sourcing from the factories to provide information:

  1. How have the above violations have been addressed, and
  2. Specifically provide responses to the following questions:
    1. What steps has John Lewis Partnership taken since the investigation’s publication to investigate the allegations brought to it by Transparentem? Has John Lewis Partnership substantiated the outstanding allegations, particularly of recruitment fee-charging?
    2. If audits of the factory have been conducted, please disclose any and all audit reports from the most recent period the company had a relationship with Firemount.
    3. As of May 2024, is John Lewis Partnership part of a buyer’s group at the factory? If yes, has it committed funds to remediate workers who were charged recruitment fees?
    4. Given the commitment from Barbour, PVH and Second Clothing to repay migrant workers for recruitment fees and related costs at R.E.A.L, will John Lewis Partnership commit to joining a reimbursement effort at Firemount?
    5. To date, what efforts have been made to address the allegations of abusive working and living conditions?

Response from John Lewis Partnership

We are not part of a buyer’s group at the factory, and haven’t placed any orders with them since May 2021, before this investigation took place.

Without an active trading relationship we do not have access to detailed information.
