Primark is named as least ethical clothes shop – Independent
Primark scores just 2.5 out of 20 on an ethical index that ranks the leading clothing chains on criteria such as workers’ rights and whether they do business with oppressive regimes. Mk One and Marks & Spencer were ranked second and third worst for ethics by Ethical Consumer magazine.
Jigsaw and Matalan scored the highest ratings but researchers said ethical standards were so low among the 27 high street clothing chains surveyed that none of them could be recommended to shoppers with a conscience.
