<p>LONDON (Reuters) -Zara owner <span itemscope="" itemtype="http://schema.org/Corporation"><span itemprop="name"> Inditex </span></span> (BME:) is in the process of stopping sourcing from Myanmar, the company told Reuters on Thursday, as a result of a campaign by global workers’ union IndustriALL to convince companies to divest from the country.</p>
<p>“Inditex is in the process of a phased and responsible exit from Myanmar, following IndustriALL’s call,” a company spokesperson wrote in an email. “As a result, we continue to reduce the number of active manufacturers in the country.”</p>
<p>Inditex did not give a timeline for its exit. It does not publish a list of suppliers, so it was not immediately clear how many factories in Myanmar were supplying the fast-fashion giant.</p>
<p>Myanmar, a major producer of garments for Western brands and retailers, has been run by a military junta since a February 2021 coup. </p>
<p>News site Sourcing Journal reported last month that Inditex planned to exit Myanmar.</p>
