"Beyonce buys out Ivy Park venture from Sir Phillip Green"
The buyout comes weeks after Sir Phillip Green was named as having taken legal action to prevent publication of allegations os sexual harassment of staff. Many campaigners and women rights activists have called for Beyonce to end reactions with Green due to the allegations. According to an investigation from The Sun newspaper, some of the workers in the Sri Lankan factory sewing some of Ivy Parks collection have been exploited due to the long working hours with very limited time off. The investigation also claimed that the mainly female staff were locked up in their accommodation over night. This article raises questions, to whether Topshop are doing enough to prevent exploitation in the work place and are they meeting up to standards.
