Mango releases tier 3 supplier list

Fashion retailer Mango has become “one of the first major fashion companies in Spain” to publish its tier 3 factory list, following the disclosure of its tier 1 and tier 2 suppliers.

It is a component of the business’s new sustainability strategy, “Sustainable Vision 2030,” which aims to highlight the traceability and transparency of its value chain.

The brand’s fabric and fitting suppliers are listed on the tier 3 list, along with their names, addresses, employee counts, and the kinds of goods they provide.

The Transparency Pledge Standard, a project aimed at increasing transparency in fashion supply chains, was followed in compiling the list, according to a press release from Mango.

Mango stated through the media that it will keep up the process of evaluating its suppliers and making sure that its employees have suitable working conditions.

The company reported having 2,400 tier 1, tier 2, or tier 3 plants worldwide as of the end of 2022.

With 663 factories, Turkey had the most, followed by China with 651, India with 214, Spain with 169, and Italy with 150.

The action fits in with other comparable value chain-based efforts, including a number of social action projects the firm is planning in the next years, and is connected to the third pillar of Mango’s strategy, which is focused on traceability.

These include “traceable” partnerships with organizations like the Spanish Red Cross and Save The Children as well as training initiatives that will concentrate on giving girls and children in nations like India and Pakistan access to education.

Mango announced that it would continue to deepen its connections with universities in Europe in order to promote the integration of young people into the labor market.
