Case Reading: H&M's Global Supply Chain Management Sustainability: Factories and Fast Fashion [HBS]- https://www.hbsp.harvard.edu/product/W93C73-PDF-ENG

1. Fashion retailers are taking different approaches to improve worker health and safety. Will these steps be enough? Why are companies that have committed to improving worker and building safety not succeeding?
2. Whose role (multinational corporations, governments, or factory owners) is it to ensure that safety standards, working conditions, and minimum wages are acceptable in developed countries? In developing countries? Why?
3. What changes would you recommend to H&M's current strategy to address the worker rights issues in Bangladesh? Will price-sensitive consumers be willing to pay more for "responsibility-produced" clothing or will H&M lose market share in the fast fashion industry? Did H&M respond correctly?
