Supplier disclosure and ethical-fashion report criticism
Factory X was included on Oxfam's annual list criticizing fashion companies that did not disclose their suppliers. Gorman also received an F in the Baptist World Aid fashion report after choosing not to participate in the survey. The brand defended its non-disclosure by citing the competitive value of manufacturing techniques, trims, and treatments developed with suppliers. Later accounts state that Gorman worked with charitable organizations compiling such assessments and received B grades in subsequent years.
