你最愛的H&M衣服,可能來自中國監獄
European fashion giants H&M, and C&A, as well as technology company 3M (MMM.N 1.65%), are looking into a report in the Financial Times alleging that inmates of a Chinese prison made packaging used by the companies.
歐洲時尚巨頭H&M, 和C&A，還有科技公司3M都在調查《金融時報》的一份報告，報告中聲稱這些公司使用的包裝是由中國監獄的囚犯製作的。C&A's chief sustainability officer Jeffrey Hogue said the privately-held company owned by Swiss-based Cofra Holding AG took the allegations very seriously and was investigating.
C&A全球首席可持續發展官Jeffrey Hogue表示，總部位於瑞士、私人持有的科弗拉控股公司非常重視這項指控，並且正在調查這件事。"We have a zero tolerance policy for any form of modern slavery including forced, bonded or prison labor. If we detect a case, we immediately terminate our relationship with the supplier," Hogue said in an emailed statement.
“對於任何形式的現代奴役制度，包括強迫、捆綁或獄中勞役，我們實行零容忍政策。如果我們發現一個案例，我們立即終止與供應商的關係。”Hogue在一份電子郵件聲明中說。
Peter Humphrey, a British corporate investigator and former journalist, spent 23 months in jail in China for allegedly obtaining private records of Chinese citizens and selling the information on to clients including drugmaker GlaxoSmithKline Plc, charges he has denied.
英國企業調查員、前記者彼得?漢弗萊此前因涉嫌獲取中國公民的私人記錄，並向包括製藥商葛蘭素史克在內的客戶出售信息，在中國被監禁了23個月。雖然他自己否認了這一指控。In an article for the Financial Times last week, Humphrey described his time in jail, including work the prisoners did: "Our men made packaging parts. I recognized well-known brands - 3M, C&A, H&M."
在上週英國《金融時報》的一篇文章中，漢弗萊描述了自己在監獄的經歷，包括囚犯們的工作:“我們製造了包裝零件。我認識知名品牌——3M, C&A, H&M。The article also made mention of prisoners making textiles and components, but did not say for whom.
這篇文章還提到了製造紡織品和部件的囚犯，但沒有說明是誰。
An H&M spokeswoman said the Swedish company was looking into the allegations, but could not yet say whether they were true.
公司的一位發言人說，瑞典公司正在調查這些指控，但還不能確定是否屬實。Companies have been making more robust efforts to ensure their supply chains are clean of trafficking and forced labor, but there is still room for improvement, according to an annual index compiled by EcoVadis.
EcoVadis編制的年度指數顯示，企業在確保供應鏈不是非法交易和強迫勞動方面做出了更有力的努力，但仍有改善的空間。"It is completely unacceptable placing manufacturing into prisons and it seriously violates the regulatory framework that our suppliers must follow," the H&M spokeswoman said.
H&M的發言人說:“將製造業投入監獄是難以接受的，這嚴重違反了我們的供應商必須遵守的監管框架。”"A failure to comply would immediately lead to permanent termination of our business contract."
“如果不遵守，將立即導致我們的商業合同永久終止。”3M, which also has policies prohibiting the use of forced labor, also said it was investigating the report.
3M也有禁止執行強迫勞動的政策，並表示正在調查該報告。
