UK’s Marks and Spencer to ban Xinjiang cotton over China s alleged abuses on Uighur Friday, January 8, 2021 5:28 AM UTC
British supermarket chain Marks and Spencer (M&S) will ban the use of cotton from the Xinjiang region in protest of China s alleged treatment of its Muslim Uighur minority.
M&S said it is one of the first companies that signed the call to action on human rights abuses and among the few retailers that do not work with any supplier or source from Xinjiang.
According to M&S, their move supports efforts to ensure fair treatment of workers and that human rights are respected.
