Factory Grading System
UNIQLO evaluates factories according to
a five-tier system, from A to E. For highly
unethical or serious offenses, such as the
use of child labor and/or falsified reporting,
factories are given E grades and UNIQLO
immediately reviews its contract with the
facilities in question. For factories that
receive C or D grades, UNIQLO provides
guidance on how to improve. UNIQLO then
conducts follow-up evaluations to ensure
improved results, and if the company finds
that key problems have not been resolved, it
immediately reviews its contract with the
factories in question
