Reports from third party auditors over the last four years found evidence of “critical” issues over record-keeping and working hours at a number of Boohoo’s suppliers. 

The audits found that parts of Boohoo’s Leicester supply chain have been paid less than £3-£4 an hour since at least 2017.

The revelations, reported by The Guardian, call into question Boohoo’s insistence that it was just “the actions of a few” suppliers when allegations of modern slavery were made against the fast fashion business back in June.
