Hugo Boss AG (Hugo Boss), a German premium clothing and accessories company, ranks 21st out of 65 companies. Since 2021, the company improved on the theme of Traceability & Risk Assessment by disclosing a partial list of second-tier fabric and trimming suppliers and data on the percentages of women and migrant workers in its first-tier supply chain workforce. However, the company did not improve across other themes and performed particularly poorly on the themes of Recruitment and Remedy. As such, the company’s rank has dropped by 5 places. KnowTheChain identified one public allegation of forced labour in the company’s supply chains, related to alleged Uyghur forced labour. In response to the allegation, the company stated that it has not procured any goods originating from Xinjiang from direct suppliers. However, it does not disclose concrete steps it has taken to address the risks of alleged Uyghur forced labour across raw materials and supply chain tiers. Additional steps the company could take to address forced labor risks in its supply chains, include strengthening its disclosure and practices on the themes of Worker Voice, Recruitment, and Remedy
