BERLIN – The ACT initiative has released a new report which explores major fashion companies’ progress on purchasing practices from the perspectives of both their own employees and their suppliers.
ACT is an agreement between 19 global brands – including ASOS, Bestseller, C&A, H&M, Inditex, Next, Primark, PVH and Zalando – and the IndustriALL global union in pursuit of living wages for workers in textile and garment supply chains.
It says its 2021 accountability and monitoring report offers an “unprecedented look” into the implementation of the commitments on purchasing practices of ACT member brands from both sides of the industry.
