Mango has published a full list of its Tier III suppliers. The aim of using visibility is to push its sustainability goals. The list follows the publication of its Tier I and II suppliers, all released as part of its sustainability initiatives.

The fashion brand has been the first in its home country of Spain to publish each of the tier lists. Across all three tiers, Mango has about 2,400 factories it works with, each of them named in its spreadsheet along with the city and country they are based in. Of those, nearly 1,300 are purely Tier III suppliers. Additional Tier III suppliers work across multiple tiers. The highest share of factories producing for Mango are in Turkey (663), followed by China (651), India (214), Spain (169) and Italy (150).

The company’s goal is to move towards the full traceability and transparency of its value chain, in order to continue with the process of auditing its suppliers and ensuring that appropriate working conditions are being fulfilled for the workers in the factories the company works with around the world. That level of transparency is, for now, somewhat radical in the fashion industry, which navigates complicated supply chains and, for decades, has been trailed by a long list of concerns around its environmental and social footprint.
