KIABI’s response to allegations of abuses in Myanmar garment factories - October 2024 Update
[...]
[We] would like to address that KIABI ensures responsible exit by informing our suppliers early in advance, more than 12 months before last shipment date, which allow suppliers to have enough time to look for new customers and arrange their capacity.
Below is our last order shipment date for each factory:
- Gainway International (Myanmar) - May 13, 2024
- GTIG Eastar - Feb. 14, 2022
- KENNY (Myanmar) - February 6, 2024
- Handa (Yangon) Myanmar - Oct 13, 2023
Respond to alert
- Gainway International (Myanmar): Provided document to demonstrate that the allegation was not true
- GTIG Eastar: We are not associated with that Supplier’s Factory for more than 2 years when our last shipment from this factory completed on Feb. 14, 2022
- Kenny (Myanmar): Factory provided supporting document from local authority confirming the allegation was not true.
- Handa (Yangon) Myanmar: Our last order shipped on Oct 13, 2023, and we are not linked to this factory when issue happened
