The Metersbonwe Group was accused of working with suppliers in China who, according to the findings of the report, contributed to the pollution of the Yangtze and Pearl Rivers.

Samples taken from one facility belonging to the Youngor Group located on the Yangtze River Delta and another belonging to the Well Dyeing Factory Ltd. located on a tributary of the Pearl River Delta revealed the presence of hazardous and persistent hormone disruptor chemicals, including alkylphenols, perfluorinated compounds and perfluorooctane sulfonate.
