Fair Wear Foundation

Leader

Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent, non-profit organisation that works with brands, factories, trade unions, NGOs, and governments to provide better working conditions for garment workers around the world. We have been a member of FWF since our operations began in 2012. Every year, our whole company is audited by FWF and the results are published in a detailed Brand Performance Check report. This report describes our efforts on social issues and provides the results of monitoring and remediation measures in each of our partner factories.

Based on the Brand Performance Check, FWF awards Leader status to companies that score exceptionally well and show best practices in the eight FWF pillars. 2023 saw us proudly maintain our FWF Leader status for the fourth year in a row and for 10 out of 11 years. The 2023 edition of the Brand Performance Check introduced a new methodology aligned with the UNGPs and the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains in the Garment and Footwear Sector. This new methodology raises the bar, making us especially proud to have maintained our Leader status.
