Shein Confirms Plans for Public Listing, Eyes London as Potential Destination

The fast-fashion giant emphasizes transparency and accountability while facing regulatory scrutiny and geopolitical challenges.

Shein's executive chairman, Donald Tang, has publicly confirmed the company's intention to go public, with London considered a likely listing location.
The company aims to embrace accountability and transparency as part of its transition to a publicly listed entity.
Shein continues to face criticism over alleged labor abuses, environmental concerns, and its supply chain practices, which the company denies, asserting compliance with local laws.
The potential IPO follows a rejected proposal for a New York listing and comes as U.S. tariff policy changes threaten to impact Shein's largest market.
Despite a reported decline in net profit and valuation pressures, Shein remains focused on growth, maintaining investor confidence, and expanding its global footprint.
