Brand accused of backsliding on factory safety after a worker at a Pakistan spinning mill lost his arm in a machinery accident

FAISALABAD — Hugo Boss, which earlier this year decided not to recommit to the recently renewed Pakistan Accord factory safety agreement, has come under renewed pressure from campaigners after a worker in a Faisalabad spinning mill in its supply chain lost an arm in an accident.

Labour Behind the Label says the worker, whose name has not been released, lost his arm while attempting to clear jammed machinery at Arctic Textile Mills which produces yarn and fabric for Hugo Boss.
