United for fair wages
The “United for fair wages” project aims to bring brands, production facilities and other key stakeholders together in order to better understand existing wage structures and initiate concrete improvements together. In phase 1, the focus is on cooperation with production facilities in Vietnam (Tier 1) in order to facilitate joint changes along the supply chain.
The commitment
The project focuses on how the concept of living wages can be integrated into the purchasing practices of the participating brands as well as into the wage systems of the participating production facilities in Vietnam. Together, well-functioning approaches as well as existing gaps are to be identified in order to find ways to support and promote better wage outcomes in the long term.
The project builds on partnerships with international organizations such as the International Labour Organization (ILO), amfori, Fair Wear and Swiss Fair Trade. The joint commitment is financially supported by SECO.
