Summary

SHEIN performs poorly overall and ranks 50th in the apparel sector with a score of 14.1 out of 100. Although it performs strongly in the marketplace and community measurement area, it has an opportunity to improve in all other areas, particularly in the governance and strategy as well as health and well-being, where it ranks at the bottom.

SHEIN has publicly available policies in place regarding violence and harassment in the workplace, like many other companies in the benchmark. However, it has an opportunity to improve in various areas like making a public commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment, disclosing more information about its channels and grievance mechanisms for both its own employees and external individuals and communities, disclosing its global primary carer leave policy, and aligning it to ILO standards of at least 14 weeks and disclosing its global secondary carer leave policy, and aligning it with the ILO standards of at least 2 weeks. It also has an opportunity to disclose its remediation process for addressing violence and harassment grievances in the workplace.
