Does Lululemon use sweatshops

Answer 1

Seventy percent of lululemons clothing is manufactured in third-world

countries with factories in China, Taiwan, South Korea, South America,

Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The corporate hypocrisy

Everyone knows Lululemon costs more than yoga wear needs to cost.

Maybe giving away all this free spiritual advice is why the clothes

cost so darn much.

It couldn't be the actual cost to make them.

Seventy percent of their clothing is manufactured in third-world

countries with factories in China, Taiwan, South Korea, South America,

Israel, Indonesia, Thailand and Vietnam.

The Lululemon website explains, "Global economic forces…have shifted

manufacturing to more cost-attractive locations and resulted in

closures of some domestic factories."

The truth according to Lululemon is evidently a Rashemon-like multi-

versioned thing. On the one hand, Lululemon stands for values like

spirituality, fairness, and freedom. On the other hand, a buck's a

buck.

Their stated mission is: "To elevate the world from mediocrity to a

place of greatness." I wonder if the children and adults working in

the Thaiwanese and Vietnamese factories are rising above their own

mediocrity to new levels of greatness.
