... Dignity Knitter is not our supplier since September 2019... 

[D]uring August 2019, C&A Sourcing and SSC team visited Dignity [and]... found out that an important number of workers were striking... It is important to underline that for these type of visits, we randomly select the factories and they are fully unannounced...

[T]he C&A team started to investigate immediately... [and] uncovered...delayed payments for a number of workers. The strike was settled quickly as payments were made... [which] was verified by our team... However... we identified a... risk of re-occurrence... [and] discussed the situation with the Supplier based in Hong Kong and they did not want to change their current payment process nor improve the administrative loopholes they had.   

We do not want to have business partners that are putting workers at risk by not improving their way of working... [so] we came to the joint decision... we would no longer source from Dignity Knitter.
