The findings from the Myanmar Enhanced Due Diligence Sectoral Assessment published in September 2022, a report commissioned by the ETI, validated our position, that it is impossible for our Global Sourcing Principles to be upheld in Myanmar.

We...are now working towards a responsible exit from Myanmar, in line with our Responsible Exit Policy, publishing our statement to this effect on our website at the beginning of October 2022 https://corporate.marksandspencer.com/media/press-releases/ms-statementmyanmar-enhanced-due-diligence-sectoral-assessment .
