Gap Inc. is pulling 50 percent of its orders placed with a vendor whose subcontracting led to children sewing some of the retailer's clothes in squalid conditions in India. To help address the problem, Gap said it would make a $200,000 grant aimed at improving the working conditions in India and would try to recruit retailers from around the world to participate in a forum next year to address child labor issues.
Last year, Gap stopped working with 23 factories that didn't live up to the company's standards. I'm very happy that Gap Inc. is backing up what they said and that they are taking the the proper actions.
