Monsoon

Last year, Monsoon didn't respond to us at all.  This year it invited us to meet with it, keen to show that it deserved a decent write-up.  Certainly Monsoon is taking steps in the right direction, but there was nothing to mark it out from the crowd.

Responded to survey: yes

MSI involvement: yes, EthicalTrading Initiative

Wages Grade 2: Acknowledges that minimum and industry benchmark wages are not sufficient standards, but no real efforts to apply living wage.

FoA Grade 2: Acknowledges that access to FoA and CB requires worker and management training, but no real efforts to ensure workers have access.

M&V Grade 3: Can offer concrete examples of steps to involve local stakeholders in oversight of M&V, but only in a few pilot projects.
