FAIRWEAR

Date : 26 mars 2010, Catégorie : Events

Last Friday 19 March, representatives of many of our member companies and stakeholders gathered in an all-organic Amsterdam restaurant for FWF’s annual Members’ Day. During the day, two more companies joined FWF and a new book – the Fair Wear formula – was presented. Those present listened to Mr. Ding and Mr. Leung, who talked about the benefits of factory and worker training. A pilot version of the new FWF Fair Factory game was played and six companies ‘pitched’ their best practice example of their work to improve labour conditions in 2009.

With FWF colleague Sparkling Ideas and CCC Belgium, we set up a campaign to convince municipalities to implement a sustainable procurement policy for workwear. Part of the  campaign were the baby T-shirts, offered to new parents who come to register their baby with the municipality.
