    Rt Hon Tom Tugendhat MP Rt Hon Nusrat Ghani MP Rt Hon Darren Jones MP Chair, Foreign Affairs Committee Business, Energy and Chair, Business, Energy and House of Commons Industrial Strategy Committee Industrial Strategy Committee London SW1A 0AA House of Commons House of Commons London SW1A 0AA London SW1A 0AA 23 November 2020 Dear Mr Tugendhat, Ms Ghani and Mr Jones, Thank you for your letter dated 9 November 2020 regarding UNIQLO supply chain which reportedly includes materials and labour sourced from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China. UNIQLO appreciate your enquiry as we take matters of human rights and ethical responsibilities seriously. We have worked closely with the relevant sections of our business including our parent company Fast Retailing based in Japan to provide detailed responses to your questions, as follows: 1. What is the nature and extent of your company’s operations in Xinjiang? UNIQLO does not own or directly operate any factories as part of its business. Additionally, no UNIQLO product is manufactured in the Xinjiang region by any of our production partners, and none of our production partners subcontract to fabric mills or spinning mills in the region. 2. What specific raw materials arriving in UK markets are sourced from Xinjiang? UNIQLO sources sustainable cotton*1, and this includes cotton originating in China. By definition, sustainable cotton is that which ensures human rights and good working environments, in accordance with international standards. Sustainable cotton forbids the use of both forced labour and child labour at farms. *1 Sustainable cotton refers to Better Cotton*2 sources; cotton sourced from the United States or Australia, recycled cotton*3; organic cotton*4; Fair Trade cotton; and Cotton made in Africa (CmiA).

  • Fast Retailing Policy on Wood-Derived Products and Forest
    Fast Retailing Responsible Product Policy: Wood-based Products and Forest Materials Ancient and endangered forests regulate our planet – providing clean air, fresh water, a stable climate and biodiversity. Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. and our brands including UNIQLO, Theory, GU, PLST, Helmut Lang, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Princess tam.tam and J Brand are committed to protecting the world’s ancient and endangered forests including efforts toward zero deforestation through our approach to procurement of wood- based fabrics, materials derived from forests, and/or manmade cellulosic fabrics. Conservation of Ancient and Endangered Forests and Ecosystems While it is commonly known that paper and wood come from forests, it is a little known fact that trees are being made into clothing. Fabrics originating from forest sources are almost exclusively referring to viscose (also known as rayon), and other fabrics are also covered in this “man-made cellulosic fabric” family. Fast Retailing Co., Ltd. is committed to undertaking reasonable efforts in the following: 1. Assess and map our existing use of forest materials and eliminate sourcing identified as coming from endangered species habitat and ancient and endangered forests. 2. Work to eliminate sourcing from companies that are logging forests illegally or tree plantations established after 1994, from areas being logged in contravention of indigenous and local peoples’ rights, and/or from other suppliers identified by Fast Retailing as controversial. 3. Should we learn that any of our forest materials are being sourced from ancient and endangered forests, endangered species habitat or through illegal logging, we will investigate our supply chain, engage our suppliers to change practices, and/or re-evaluate our relationship with them.
