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 NextNext received a more favourable write-up than most in 2006, because it could offer concrete examples in each area we raised. In the subsequent year, Next seems to have started to take up our challenge of moving beyond pilot projects to a more systematic approach, at least in terms of the living wage. Responded to survey: twice MSI involvement: yes, Ethical Trading Initiative Wages Grade 4: Sophisticated and serious engagement with a living wage, beginning to move beyond pilot programmes, but still not systematic across supplier base. 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 3: Can offer concrete examples of steps to involve local stakeholders in oversight of implementation, monitoring and verification (M&V), but only in a few pilot projects. |
