Polo Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein gun

According to environmental protection organizations, 19 enterprises that do not respond include: Polo Ralph Lauren, 31st degree, Kappa, Anta, Messi general merchandise, Armani, Calvin Klein, Carrefour and other businesses and brands.

Environmental protection organizations believe that the lack of management of these suppliers objectively promotes pollution enterprises to reduce environmental costs to win orders, and ultimately damage the health of China's environment and community people.

One of the reasons why multinational textile enterprises ignore China's environmental laws and regulations is lax enforcement.

Martha department store is seriously illegal.

Martha is the largest multinational business in the UK.

The group has been established for over 100 years. Over the past 128 years, Martha has developed from a small shop into an international brand of multi-channel retail. It has opened 1100 branches in 40 countries and regions, and has more than 81000 employees.

However, Chinese environmental protection organizations found that there are serious environmental violations in China's material suppliers.

Faced with the challenge of environmental groups, Martha stores repeatedly avoided and perfunctory.

"Martha stores use their concepts of" zero waste "and" carbon neutralization "to decorate their performance, while allowing pollution emissions from the production process of the supply chain to cause damage to the environment and communities.

Environmental groups said.
