H&M confirms plans to ‘phase out’ operations in Myanmar
Fashion giant H&M has confirmed plans to “phase out” its operations in Myanmar following reports of labour abuse in its garment factories.

This comes after reports earlier this week that H&M is investigating 20 alleged instances of abuse at its Myanmar-based factories.
