Reuters could not independently verify the allegations. The investor request could add more pressure to sportswear giant Nike, which is set to hold its annual shareholder meeting on Tuesday. The Nike investors want evidence that Nike is “future-proofing” its manufacturing ahead of a slew of European Union regulations aimed at the fashion industry, said Kees Gootjes, business and human rights advisor for ABN AMRO who signed the letter on behalf of the Dutch bank.
Before the factory’s closure in July 2020, Violet Apparel was owned by global textile manufacturer and Nike supplier Ramatex, according to WRC. WRC alleges that Violet Apparel made clothing for Nike as a subcontractor until 2020, citing what it said was testimony from factory workers and photographs taken inside the factory.
