Just Group criticism escalates

The Just Group has copped more criticism for its treatment of foreign workers.

The Just Group was one of the worst performers in the Baptist World Aid's 2015 Fashion Report.

The indictment comes days after Oxfam launched a campaign against the Premier Investments subsidiary.

The report graded Just Group an F for workers rights and a D for transparency, policies and training of workers.

The report claimed just nine per cent of brands pay their global supply workers a living wage.

Best & Less also scored an overall F-Grade for its supply policy.

Baptist World Aid investigated 59 apparel companies and 219 brands as part of the latest report.

It found Kmart, Cotton On, Country Road and Sussan Group had made improvements in their supply chains over the last 18 months.
