The legendary band want a licensing deal with the fast-fashion brand cancelled after being alerted by i to allegations of labour abuse in factories making Shein products
A Shein hoodie featuring the famous Rolling Stones tongue-and-lips logo , said: “It is great to see decisive action from The Rolling Stones in ending their merchandise deal with Shein after becoming aware of such worrying conditions in factories making clothes for the brand.
“This deal highlights the potential pitfalls for celebrities and influencers who sign up to ‘collaborations’ with companies working in the fast-fashion industry, which is routinely exposed for exploiting its workers. “We urge all businesses to carry out thorough due diligence with clothing firms before signing any contracts, to ensure that labour abuse is not carried out in their name and to line their pockets. We call on those who have existing contracts with Shein to put principles first, to make sure there is real improvement for the thousands of workers toiling in poverty for big corporations.
It previously said it is “absolutely committed” to its supplier code of conduct, which “complies with the core conventions of the International Labour Organization”. In a statement regarding the Channel 4 investigation, it said last month: “Shein engages industry-leading third-party agencies to conduct regular audits of suppliers’ facilities to ensure compliance.
“Suppliers are given a specific timeframe in which to remediate the violations, failing which, Shein takes immediate action against the supplier, including terminating the partnership.”
