PARIS: LVMH Moët Hennessy Louis Vuitton’s (LVMH) second-largest fashion brand Dior was until last month behind on disclosures required by British law about working conditions in its supply chain, and made outdated statements on its website of a third-party certification that it terminated more than a year ago, Reuters has found.

The Modern Slavery Act of 2015 requires companies with turnover of £36mil and above in Britain to publish annual statements on their websites detailing the steps they are taking to combat forced labour in their business and supply chains globally.
