- comments:
- Better Work programme brings diverse groups together – governments, global brands, factory owners and unions and workers- to improve working conditions in the garment industry.
- challenges:
- Countries with lower wages and less respect for working conditions are tempting brands to move to new locations. This is indeed an issue of great concern in Nicaragua, where national stakeholders are concerned about brands are moving to other countries with lower wages and/or respect for decent work; which could result in factories closing and workers losing their jobs.
- success:
- Recognising the role brands and retailers play in improving factory working conditions, strengthen BW partnership with their key supply chain partners (intermediaries and sourcing agents). The brands’ support to BW are key to improve efforts of suppliers to maximize impact, they can complement and reinforce BW’s assistance to factories.
- context:
- The BW programme mobilizes global brands, retailers and intermediaries to reimagine the global supply chain. Their participation in the programme is crucial to coordinate efforts and gain industry competitiveness.
- description:
- The brands’ support to BW is crucial for its successful operation in the countries, as experience shows that factories adhere to the Programme when it is compulsory (Haiti) and/or the buyers specifically ask the suppliers to do so (e.g. Nicaragua).
