  • About 1,200 workers of the supplier were laid off in 2021 without severance pay and wages owed to them after it went bankrupt.
  • Brilliant Alliance Thai had shut down its factory supplying global lingerie brands, including Victoria’s Secret, in Samut Prakan province in March 2021.
  •  "Global brands need to realize that they are not passive investors, but trendsetters in setting labor standards," the report quoted David Welsh, the Thailand director for the Solidarity Center.
