A global framework agreement was signed by Japanese sports company Mizuno and the International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers Federation (ITGLWF) Japanese affiliate, UI ZENSEN.

Mizuno Corporation is headquartered in Osaka and Tokyo and employs 1,983 workers in Japan. The company produces goods at its factories in the UK, US, Thailand, China and Japan as well as at suppliers in several countries in Asia.

ITGLWF president, Hisanobu Shimada, and ITGLWF general secretary, Klaus Priegnitz, believe that the agreement, which includes the commitment of all signatories to ensure the implementation of eight ILO core labour conventions, is a step forward and a way to protect the interests of the textile workers worldwide.
