Organization Background:

Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent, non-profit organization, based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, which works with European clothing companies and factories in production countries to improve labour conditions for garment workers. FWF’s 90 member companies represent over 120 brands, and are based in several European countries. Member companies of FWF work towards improving the labour conditions in factories and workshops where the ‘cut-make-trim’ stage takes place. The basis of the collaboration between FWF and a member is the Code of Labour Practices, which consists of eight labour standards. FWF verifies whether companies comply with FWF’s Code of Labour Practices, through factory audits and a complaints procedure, through yearly brand performance checks at the member companies’ headquarters and through stakeholder consultation in production countries.
