7-23-20 – PayUp Fashion has placed TJX on our tracker after it was reported by the Worker Rights Consortium that TJX has refused payment to some Indian apparel factories for completed orders.
GO TRANSPARENT
8-16-21 – TJ Maxx has not committed to The Transparency Pledge and, notably, it does not appear to publicly disclose even a basic tier 1 cut-and-sew garment factory list. Tier 1 transparency is the absolute lowest bar of compliance in fashion and since the company has yet to meet it, we have given TJ Maxx a “NO” under Go Transparent. In addition to the above, to receive a “YES” for Action 3 on the PayUp Fashion Tracker, TJ Maxx must a) disclose its tier 2 (fabric mills), tier 3 (yarn and fiber mills) and tier 4 (raw materials) suppliers; b) disclose the wages of the lowest-earning workers at each factory and c) share audit and remediation reports publicly, and make these findings available to the garment workers in the audited factories.
