LONDON - Retail giant Marks & Spencer (M&S) has extended its digital map revealing the suppliers in its global supply chain to include information about where it sources its man-made cellulosic fibres.
The online map lists both raw material suppliers and factories, providing information on factory location, gender balance among workforces, and whether each factory enables staff to sit on committees or to join third-party unions.
It provides addresses, information around what materials are involved, and the capacity volume of each location. It reveals that M&S sources its viscose from 23 suppliers globally, most of which are in Asia.
