Activists crash Boohoo panel on ‘ethical clothing’ in protest at online retail giants' ‘green washing’

ACTIVISTS disrupted an ethical clothing event hosted by Boohoo on Tuesday to call out the firm’s green-washing and poor workers’ rights record. 

The protest erupted as senior representatives at the fast-fashion brand spoke at a panel event titled “ethical clothing and industry collaboration” at the Source Fashion Show in London. 

A video of the action shows fair-fashion campaigners standing up one by one to criticise the firm’s treatment of garment workers in its supply chain.
