SHEIN's business model is deeply integrated into the fast-evolving landscape of ultra-fast fashion, leveraging a blend of technology, agile manufacturing, and keen market insights to cater to a global audience. However, as SHEIN continues to expand its footprint, questions about sustainability, moral and ethical practices, and the future direction of the company have come to the forefront of discussions among consumers, industry watchers, and potential investors alike.

Today, Enterprise explores SHEIN's commitment to sustainability, the challenges and opportunities it faces in light of its rapid growth, and the strategic decisions shaping its journey towards a potential initial public offering (IPO) with Annabella Ng , Senior Director of Global Public Affairs at SHEIN.
