As a result<strong> it launched its Agenda for Change initiative and hired retired judge Lord Leveson<\/strong> to to provide independent oversight of the programme.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Leveson has published his first independent report into progress today and it is available to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boohooplc.com\/sites\/boohoo-corp\/files\/report-to-board-7-jan-2021.pdf\">view on the Boohoo website.<\/a> The group is <strong>expected to open its own state of the art manufacturing facility in Leicester later this year<\/strong> and has added to its board and introduced greater oversight of its supply chain.<\/p>\n<p>Commenting on the progress made on Agenda for Change, co-founder and executive chairman Mahmud Kamani said: \"I'm pleased to publish Sir Brian Leveson's first report today. <strong>I'm immensely proud of the speed with which our team has worked to effect change<\/strong> during such a challenging period for the Group, and it's encouraging to see our progress acknowledged in the report.<\/p>\n<p>\"We've added further independent experience to the Board and its committees in the period, and I was delighted to welcome Shaun McCabe to the Board in November. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our team for their exceptional hard work over the last few months, and to reinforce our commitment to being a leader for positive change in\u00a0UK\u00a0textiles manufacturing. <strong>We have lots to do still, but an exciting year lies ahead for boohoo<\/strong> and our multi-brand platform in 2021.\"<\/p>\n<p>CEO John Lyttle added: \"I'm delighted with the Group's performance over the peak trading period. Our team worked exceptionally hard in 2020 as we navigated the many challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the successful acquisition and integration of Oasis and Warehouse. <strong>Growth has been strong across our multi-brand platform and we have continued to grow our market share across all geographies. <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\"I'm pleased to be able to provide a further update on our Agenda for Change programme today, which <strong>demonstrates our ongoing commitment to transparency<\/strong> as we invest in our approach to sustainability and our supply chain for the benefit of all of the Group's stakeholders.\u00a0The Group is in an excellent position entering 2021, which we expect to be another year of progress towards our goal of leading the fashion e-commerce market globally.\"<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":140998,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10585,6,10494],"tags":[3791,13503,17009,10996],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Boohoo sales up 40% as it updates on &quot;Agenda for Change&quot;
