SUMMARY
Zalando, the biggest online-only apparel retailer in Europe,1 ranks 25th out of 37 companies, disclosing less information on its forced labor policies and practices than its peers. It scores higher than average on the theme of Purchasing Practices and lower than average on the remaining themes.

It is encouraged to improve on the themes of Recruitment, Worker Voice, and Remedy.
