About Fair Wear
At Fair Wear, we’re pushing for a world where the global garment supply chain is a source of safe, dignified and decently paid employment, and in which human rights are respected.
The garment industry is changing. Evolving legislation makes for a complex landscape. Navigating it alone isn’t easy.
With over 25 years’ experience strengthening supply chain, our pioneering frameworks and practical tools have already helped hundreds of companies implement responsible business practices, improving the lives of millions of workers worldwide.
To join us in creating a world of safe and dignified work for all, you can sign up to the HRDD Academy or join as a Fair Wear Member brand. Find out more about this below and at www.fairwear.org.

The following is included in Fair Wear membership:
-
Fair Wear’s Brand Performance Check is a tool to evaluate and publicly report on the Human Rights Due Diligence efforts of Fair Wear’s members. It is the most important element of our unique shared responsibility approach to improving working conditions in garment, textile, and footwear supply chains.
-
A team of independent experts in garment producing countries provide onsite assessments. The risk-based assessments help brands to identify and validate human rights responsibilities in their supply chains.
-
These phone lines are available for workers to safely voice their concerns and complaints. They help Fair Wear member brands identify problems and act as living record of what they are doing to address them. This way, brands and suppliers both are held accountable for what’s happening on the factory floor. Often our local teams play a big role in researching the complaint and finding solutions.
-
Each brand is paired with a Fair Wear Brand Liaison whose role is to inspire change, answer questions, facilitate audits and trainings and review work plans, social reports and factory data. They also provide guidance on matters such as possible risks, due diligence and practical changes a brand might implement in their supply chain.
