Lojas Renner's response to Anzir Apparels factory closure

  • Can you confirm whether the facility linked to the allegation(s) is within your supply chain?

The Anzir Apparels factory is part of the supply chain of our supplier TEX LINE.

  • How are you ensuring that your purchasing practices in relation to Anzir Apparels and the closure of the factory following a lack of order from buyers, meet the standard required to protect workers rights and livelihoods?

[...]

Our suppliers undergo audits, the frequency of which is tied to their classification level and compliance risk. Our audits, which can be on-site visits or remote evaluations, apply to suppliers and subcontractors of our resale suppliers. The goal is to ensure compliance with legal requirements and Lojas Renner S.A.’s policies...

In the case of the factory in question, it has been part of different programs and certifications such as: Accord, ZDHC, Fair Wear, Better Cotton, BSCI, SMETA, Better Work. The last assessment at this factory took place in jully 2023 through the Social and Labor Convergence Program (SLCP). No legal non-compliances regarding payment were found to exist at that time. According to the regularity of the program, in June 2024, we got in touch requesting the updated SLCP assessment and until now we have not received this response.

  • We request more information on the allegation(s), including what your company has done to investigate it and ensure remedy for Workers

We contacted our partner TEX LINE, who is responsible for managing its factories and the feedback received was that all workers received remuneration for April 2024 and other compensation and benefits will be paid on or before september2024 as per the last DIFT-labor federation, factory management, and workers’ joint meeting decision. The TEX LINE Supplier is committed to monitoring the execution of all payments that must be carried out by September 2024. Lojas Renner will continue to evolve its Supplier Compliance Program so that all human rights are respected in its supply chain.
