PHNOM PENH – A programme launched in 2019 to improve garment worker safety in Vietnam and India – with support from brands such as Bestseller, Gap, Target, VF Corp and Walmart – is expanding to Cambodia.
The Life and Building Safety (LABS) initiative is run by IDH, the Sustainable Trade Initiative, and was launched after the organisation was approached by the brands to create a safety programme for apparel and footwear factories.
It will operate in all major production hubs of Cambodia including Phnom Penh, Kandal, Kampong Cham, Kampong Chhnang, Kampong Speu, and Takeo and is expected to benefit more than 200,000 workers this year.
