Global luxury brands, including LVMH, often rely on external contractors for production, but audits may overlook significant supply chain issues, leaving many problems unaddressed.
The inspections conducted by brands are not as thorough as needed, often only covering direct suppliers and missing subcontractors where issues are likely to arise.
Audits are typically planned in advance, allowing suppliers to prepare for them by presenting an improved image, which can mask underlying issues within the workforce.
Despite the luxury industry's strong reputation for craftsmanship, there is a troubling lack of oversight in ensuring legal and ethical labor practices at all production levels.
