Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

H&M group helps suppliers around the world to implement improved wage management systems in textile factories. This leads to better work environment as well as fairer wages – and in turn more motivated employees, which many employers within the textile industry realize is key to business success.

We want textile factories producing for H&M group to have a positive and motivating workplace environment. This not only benefits factory employees, but also to the same extent management and buyers such as H&M group. It’s a win-win – and a foundation for fair wages.

Our work is about making it possible for textile factories to be good employers.

Julia Bakutis, Sustainability Manager at the H&M group production office in Turkey

One prerequisite for a positive and motivating work environment are well-functioning wage management systems* ensuring that wages take everybody’s individual skills and experience into account. Equally important is that all factory employees know why they receive a certain wage and that they have a possibility for skill development – and that such development is rewarded. Likewise, it is crucial that there is a sound dialogue between employer and employees at the workplace. This is what H&M group’s work within this area is all about.

The factory with 200 employees is located in Denizli in western Turkey and has produced for H&M group for 16 years.
