PRIMARK is very selective about who they work with. To make it onto Primark’s approved factory list, each factory is vetted to internationally-recognized standards set out in the Primark Code of Conduct and must commit to meet the Code as a condition of doing business with us. Once approved, it’s the job of their Ethical Trade and Environmental Sustainability Team, a group of more than 100 experts based in key sourcing countries, to monitor compliance with their Code of Conduct. They audit every factory at least once a year, sometimes more, to check whether international standards are being met.
