This report isn't an 'ethical shopping guide'. The way to help workers is not to boycott one company in favour of another, it's to shift from being a passive consumer to an active one. Each time you buy clothes, get in touch with the company you bought them from, ask them what they are doing about the recommendations in this report. Together, we can - and we will - clean up fashion.

Matalan 

We received no response from Matalan in 2007, or in 2006, so this profile remains the same.  On workers’ rights, Matalan fares the worst of every company profiled here.

Responded to survey: no, despite follow up

MSI involvement: no

Wages Grade 0: Does not accept the principle of a living wage.

FoA Grade 0: Does not accept the principle of FA and collective bargaining (CB).

M&V Grade 0: Does not have an auditing system in line with accepted industry norms.
