Fair Wear project targets procurement officers

02/04/2014
The Netherlands-based Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) has launched a European Commission-sponsored project to influence procurement officers from apparel retailers and brands use their influence to improve conditions in supplier factories.

Launched at the Professional Clothing Show in Birmingham, UK, the WellMade initiative will run for two years and include seminars, an online resource and will tour European trade shows.

The initiative is also supported by CIR, CNV Internationaal, SOMO and the Ethical Trading Initiative.
FWF’s 80 member companies represent 120 brands and are based in seven European countries.
