This brand is a client of Delta Galil Industries, an Israeli textile manufacturer with production facilities in illegal West Bank settlements. These settlements violate international law and represent a broader system of apartheid, forced displacement, and military occupation. Despite decades of advocacy and investigation, Delta Galil continues to operate in these zones, supplying or manufacturing for dozens of major global fashion brands. These include Nike, Adidas, Victoria’s Secret, Hugo Boss, and Columbia, among others.
By sourcing from Delta Galil, these brands are directly entangled in the economics of occupation. They benefit from cheap labor, tax incentives, and production capacity built on expropriated Palestinian land. Human rights violations, exploitation, and political complicity are not incidental to these operations, they are embedded in the supply chain.
Benetton’s reliance on Delta Galil places it squarely within the economics of apartheid. Delta Galil’s factories in settlements profit from expropriated Palestinian land and water, while exploiting a captive labor force under military occupation. These supply chains are not incidental: they are embedded in the infrastructure of dispossession and normalized in global fashion networks.
Unlike smaller labels, Benetton’s global presence amplifies the problem by circulating Delta-linked textiles into major consumer markets. Every purchase indirectly reinforces Delta’s profitability and credibility, providing the company with both Western capital and legitimacy.
Boycotting Benetton Group is therefore High Impact. It targets not just a fashion label but a retailer that sustains Delta Galil’s commercial reach. Cutting these ties disrupts one of the less visible but powerful engines of Israel’s settlement economy and pressures global brands to sever contracts with suppliers embedded in apartheid structures.
