mix, colesSupermarket giant, Coles, has published a list of factories manufacturing product for its apparel line,  Mix.

In addition to clear country of origin labelling on the product, Coles has also published the factory details on its website for Coles’ apparel manufacturers located in India, Cambodia, and Vietnam.

Coles says that it aims to provide customers with reassurance that the supply chain for Coles brand product is operating by global best practice standards.

“Coles is committed to understanding and addressing the issues in the international markets from which we source. This means regular visits to our partner factories, independent factory audits, and supporting solutions – such as the International Labour Organisation Research Program,” the company stated.

The move follows fellow Wesfarmers-owned  chain, Target,which published a list of its Bangladesh factory partners in August.
