Former Interior Minister Christophe Castaner has recently joined the environmental council of the fast-fashion giant Shein, raising questions as a law targeting polluting practices in the textile industry is set to be examined by France’s Senate. Shein is facing scrutiny for its significant carbon footprint and has reportedly sought to influence lawmakers to oppose the legislation. Castaner asserts his independence in the role, denying any lobbying intentions, despite acknowledging a compensation for his environmental advice.
