Victoria's Secret To Finance Settlement For Thai Workers Laid Off By Its Supplier: Reuters
Victoria’s Secret & Co (NYSE: VSCO) has agreed to finance an $8.3 million settlement loan to its Thailand-based supplier Brilliant Alliance Thai Global Co Ltd, Reuters reported.
About 1,200 workers of the supplier were laid off in 2021 without severance pay and wages owed to them after it went bankrupt.
Brilliant Alliance Thai had shut down its factory supplying global lingerie brands, including Victoria’s Secret, in Samut Prakan province in March 2021.
"Global brands need to realize that they are not passive investors, but trendsetters in setting labor standards," the report quoted David Welsh, the Thailand director for the Solidarity Center.
