Nitta Yukihiro, Group Executive Officer of Fast Retailing said "We have never had any human rights violations or environmental problems. We have also confirmed that through third party organizations."

He said the company has set improved supply-chain transparency as one of the company's business objectives through fiscal 2030. It will establish a system tracking its products all the way back to the raw materials.
