This report isn't an 'ethical shopping guide'. The way to help workers is not to boycott one company in favour of another, it's to shift from being a passive consumer to an active one. Each time you buy clothes, get in touch with the company you bought them from, ask them what they are doing about the recommendations in this report. Together, we can - and we will - clean up fashion. |

Page 1 of 3 Levi Strauss & CoLevi’s is the only company to has moved significantly backwards this year. It withdrew from membership of the ETI over its policy on the living wage, signalling a more isolationist position and an unwillingness to commit to living wages, even aspirationally. It did take up our offer of a meeting, but subsequently asked us to disregard the contents of the discussion on living wages.
Responded to survey: yes MSI involvement: no Wages Grade 0: Does not accept the principle of a living wage. FoA Grade 3: Can offer concrete examples of steps to facilitate access to FoA and CB in conjunction with local trade unions and labour rights groups, but only in a few pilot projects. M&V Grade 1: Suppliers regularly audited and remediation measures taken, in line with basic industry norms only. |
