Fair Wear is an independent multi-stakeholder initiative dedicated to improving working conditions in the textile industry. Unlike product certifications, it focuses on the membership and commitment of the entire company.
What Fair Wear membership means:
- Commitment: The company has committed to the strict Fair Wear Code of Conduct
- Transparency: Regular independent audits of working conditions at production facilities
- Continuous improvement: Annual assessment of progress in implementing fair labor practices
- Complaint system: Workers in factories have access to an independent complaint mechanism
In contrast to material-related standards like GOTS or OCS, Fair Wear focuses exclusively on the social aspects of production. The membership demonstrates a company's commitment to treating the people behind the fashion fairly and continuously improving working conditions throughout the supply chain.
