FWF’S WORK

FWF assesses and evaluates the efforts of its members to support better working conditions in their supply chain. This includes assessments at the brand level through the so-called annual ‘brand Performance Check’, which evaluates the implementation of the fWf Code of labour Practices (ColP) in a brand’s management system. Additionally fWf verifies compliance with the fWf ColP through regular factory audits and a complaints mechanism for factory workers in production countries.

FWF’S LABOUR STANDARDS

Member brands commit to implement the fWf Code of labour Practices in their supply chain and improve workings conditions for workers in factories where their production takes place. This includes setting up a monitoring system for production locations, adapting company policies to support implementation of the ColP and remediating problems found in their supply chains through audits or complaints.
