Good Clothes, Fair Pay
Fairtrade has been fighting for the rights of producers and workers for 30 years and is supporting Good Clothes, Fair Pay, a Fashion Revolution and Fair Wear Foundation campaign.
We have one year to collect one million signatures from EU Citizens to push the European Union to require companies to conduct living wage due diligence in their supply chains, in the fashion industry.
We need you to help us make the voice of garment workers heard! Sign the petition below.
We call on the European Commission to propose legislation
requiring undertakings active in the garment and footwear sector to
conduct due diligence in respect of living wages in their supply chains.
The legislation shall achieve the following objectives:
- complement and build on the EU’s Sustainable Corporate Governance framework, and the EU Adequate Minimum Wage Directive;
- require undertakings to identify, prevent and mitigate adverse impacts on the human right to a living wage and freedom of association and collective bargaining rights;
- reduce poverty in the EU and worldwide, paying particular attention to the circumstances of women, migrants and workers with precarious contracts and the need to combat child labour;
- prohibit unfair trading practices which cause, or contribute to, actual and potential harms to workers in the garment and footwear sector and promote fair purchasing practices;
- provide a right to information for consumers regarding undertakings in the garment and footwear sector;
- improve transparency and accountability of undertakings in the garment and footwear sector
