GLOBAL – An alliance of multi-stakeholder initiatives (MSIs) has drawn up new proposals on responsible purchasing practices in a bid to reduce the negative impacts of the fashion industry on garment workers and suppliers.
Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI), ET Norway and Denmark, Fair Wear (FW), Partnership for Sustainable Textiles (PST) and representatives of the former AGT (Dutch Agreement) and potential NGA (New Generation Agreement) are involved in the MSI Working Group on Purchasing Practices.
They also consulted with other stakeholders including the Better Buying Institute, ACT, the International Labour Organization’s (ILO) Better Work programme and the Sustainable Terms of Trade Initiative (STTI).
