A three year project that began in 2013, WellMade provides free online resources designed to help brands better support labour rights in their supply chains.
The Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is lead partner on the initiative, working collaboratively with other partners and associates.
There are currently four specific case studies to assist brands:
(1) “You know those pants we ordered? We need them in a different color!”
(2) “I’m visiting a factory but I’m not a CSR specialist. What can I do to help?”
(3) “We have found labour problems in one of our factories. What should we do?”
(4) “Subcontracting: How can this small group of workers produce so many t-shirts?”
If you’re in Paris, you can catch the project for a free workshop tomorrow (10 Feb) at Texworld.
Follow WellMade on Facebook and Twitter for updates on resources, as well as future workshops and events.
