Fair Wear Foundation and International Labour Organisation to work together
22/05/2017
They will join forces to fulfil three primary objectives. They will co-ordinate factory assessments to reduce the duplication of audits, streamline improvement processes and make a wider range of training opportunities available to tackle “priority workplace issues” such as sexual harassment, health and safety.
At the time of the announcement, Better Work director, Dan Rees, said: “In an industry with more than 60 million workers and much still to be done to improve adherence to international and national labour standards, we welcome this partnership as a step towards creating decent work for all.”
The collaboration between Fair Wear Foundation and Better Work will officially begin with an 18-month pilot, starting in June. The first trial projects will be in Vietnam and Bangladesh, in factories from which FWF members and Better Work business partners source.
