Milan (Reuters) – An Italian court ended the investment under judicial administration imposed on a subsidiary of the Armani fashion house due to an investigation into the alleged exploitation of workers with Chinese subcontractors, after it took the necessary corrective measures.
Giorgio Armani Operations have been investigated since April for alleged operations of workers with Chinese subcontractors.
In ten months, the company adopted the organizational model and the required control procedures, according to the Milan Court.
“In detail, the fashion house very quickly ended relations with ‘risk’ suppliers’ and also developed several good practices that have been approved by the court,” said the judges.
The company welcomed this decision, regretting that two of its many suppliers have “betrayed the founding values ​​of the Armani group, which has never looked for profit as an end in itself and has never given up respect for workers and consumers “.
In October, the court raised the measure of judicial administration imposed on the Alviero Martini brand.
In addition to this one and Armani, an Italian subsidiary of LVMH had been placed under the same special administration for lack of control of its supply chain.
This affair is still underway.
