PrimarkDownload Primark's submission (pdf) Responded to survey: yes MSI involvement: yes, Ethical Trading Initiative [what's this?] Grade 2: Acknowledges that minimum and industry benchmark wages are not sufficient standards, but no real efforts to apply living wage. [what's this?] SummaryNothing really to show at this point; says was hoping to work on wages through the ETI pilot project and is now considering a small project of its own, but not in the same league as other retailers. Position on living wages"The Primark code, in line with that of the ETI, does require wages to be paid at the legal minimum or industry accepted standard where a legal minimum does not exist, whichever is higher...we are very aware of the complexities of identifying a living wage which can be applicable to an industry and region, and have actively requested support from the ETI in doing so." Work so far on living wagesNone mentioned Plans on living wagesPrimark participates in the ETI project group, but this group has been “painfully slow”. In the meantime, “We are actively looking for on the ground partners to enable us to run a small pilot in India, independent of the ETI.” Other significant informationPrimark has embarked on training for workers, working with local labour rights groups and trade unions, in Bangladesh and potentially India. It has expanded its in-country teams to improve the effectiveness of its audits and its compliance work. It points out that it pays for all factory audits itself, in contrast to many retailers that expect suppliers to pay. Our commentsAs other retailers have demonstrated, the work already done on the ETI project can form the basis of a solid living wages project, preferably in collaboration with others. It is not clear what Primark means by a “small pilot in India”, but as it surges to the top of the market share table, it should surely be as if not more ambitious than its competitors.
