Kurzbeschreibung:

This report reveals the hidden reliance of the fast fashion industry on fossil fuels. It demonstrates how the historical and projected growth of synthetic fibres, such as polyester, has become the backbone of the prevailing unsustainable fast fashion business model, which is driving runaway consumption and presents a major obstacle to a circular economy. It also uncovers how, in light of the fashion industry’s growing dependence on fossil fuels, the oil and gas industry are betting on production of plastic, including plastic-fibres, as a growing share of their revenue.

The production of polyester alone is leading to annual GHG emissions equivalent to 180 coal power plants and this is projected to nearly double by 2030. In addition to the climate crisis, fashion’s addiction to fossil fuels is also driving the waste crisis – from ubiquitous microfibre pollution to mountains of textile waste ending up in nature, landfills and incinerators. The report calls for a considerable slow-down of fast fashion and highlights the upcoming EU textile strategy as a good opportunity to introduce sweeping legislation that should change the course of the industry.

Kurzbeschreibung:

Almost three years since the first fashion brands and retailers signed up to our Roadmap towards responsible viscose and modal fibre manufacturing, this report evaluates where the global textile industry now stands in the transition towards responsible viscose. We have engaged with 100 brands and retailers, and the most prominent viscose manufactures’ and initiatives, evaluating their responsible production plans, commitments and progress on transparency. Fourteen major brands and retailers have made a public commitment to clean up their viscose supply chains and viscose manufacturers producing over 50% of global market share have also committed to better manufacturing and have started investing in closed-loop production processes in line with the Changing Markets’ Roadmap. While the frontrunners of the industry have made great headway, the report highlights that legislation is needed to unlock a sector-wide transformation.

Kurzbeschreibung:

This report demonstrates how the business model of fashion brands and the structure of global garment supply chains create and sustain poverty wages for garment workers. We explore how persistently low wages continue to be the foundation of the industry despite policy commitments to pay a living wage. Elements of supply chains that impact wage levels are: the indirect employment relationship with supply chain workers; the global race to the bottom on labour costs which suppress national minimum wage increases; and the unequal power relationship between brands and suppliers which allow brands to dictate the terms of production, often at the expense of suppliers.

Between August 2020 and February 2021, Business & Human Rights Resource Centre (BHRRC) approached 16 brands for a response to allegations of unpaid wages and benefits (wage theft). All brands included in the report have policy commitments to ensure workers in their supply chain are paid. Ten go further and explicitly refer to aspirations to pay a living wage, with five of these brands members of the key voluntary initiative on living wage payment, Action Collaboration Transformation (ACT). Yet the existence of voluntary initiatives on living wages has failed to result in the payment of living wages to garment workers or even an increase in the wage level.

Kurzbeschreibung:

The questions explored in this report are related to the purchasing practices of brands and retailers as they place new orders with suppliers during the continued Covid-19 pandemic.

How are brands responding to their business partners’ distressed circumstances? Are they treating suppliers fairly? Or are brands and retailers taking advantage of suppliers’ desperation to extract price discounts and other concessions? How are current trends in order volume and pricing affecting the viability of suppliers? What will be the impact on the tens of millions of workers who sew apparel for their livelihood?

To answer these questions, this report examines the findings from a new survey of apparel suppliers conducted during July and August of 2020. It also draws on recent trade data, interviews with stakeholders, quarterly financial reports, and other sources.

Kurzbeschreibung:
This article assesses the impact of the crisis on sourcing operations and spotlights the steps that companies are taking in their immediate response. Then the strategies—and the paradigm shift—that will be necessary to reshape sourcing practices moving forward are pivoted. Two key objectives for this long-term transformation are suggested: a demand-driven supply-chain model and sustainable sourcing. It is emphasized that, for every fashion close collaboration at all levels along the value chain is required.

It was conducted a largescale survey among sourcing executives and a broader group of stakeholders—asking both how companies can respond to the crisis now and how they envision the future of the industry. The survey, conducted between April 14 and April 22, 2020, engaged 116 sourcing executives from fashion retailers and brands predominantly in North America and Western Europe; between them they manage more than $120 billion in sourcing value. Insights from more than 230 other Sourcing Journal subscribers are included, who are stakeholders across the value chain, including suppliers, agents, and academics. The survey was conducted in collaboration with the Sourcing Journal. These sourcing executives and stakeholders make clear that, beyond immediate crisis management, the industry needs to shift towards a more sustainable and demand-centric future.

Kurzbeschreibung:

This research report presents the findings of a survey of 396 garment workers across 158 factories in nine countries, undertaken between August and September 2020. It presents new data about how garment workers’ food security—and linked dynamics of employment status and income—has deteriorated amidst the pandemic. Workers from our sample reported making clothes for over 100 apparel brands and retailers; the brands and retailers that were identified by survey respondents with the most frequency were: adidas, Gap, H&M, Nike, The Children’s Place, PVH, Gildan, Walmart, JCPenney, and Express.

Our data reveal an alarming pattern: garment workers’ declining incomes are leading to widespread hunger among workers and their families, as they are increasingly unable to obtain adequate food and nutrition. These dynamics are a direct result of apparel brands’ responses to the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as the long-term trend of low wages for garment workers in brands’ supply chains, which has left workers unprotected.

Kurzbeschreibung:

This publication explores the implications of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) on the future of jobs, skills, and training in Southeast Asia, particularly for high growth industries in Cambodia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Vietnam. In Cambodia the garment industry is highlighted which should aim to depend less on low-cost production by moving toward production with higher value added, and that 4IR technologies could facilitate this transition.

What next for Asian garment production after COVID-19?

Kurzbeschreibung:
Garment manufacturers in Asia, the industry’s largest global hub for production, have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Many have been forced to shut down operations either temporarily or permanently, and this has left millions of garment workers, the majority of whom are women, unemployed, furloughed or facing reduced hours and income. Although longstanding to the sector, the pandemic gave acute exposure to the fragility and structural inequities of the garment supply chain, something that has led those in the industry to once again question its future viability. Already, debates are emerging about how production dynamics and practices will have to transform to survive in the post-pandemic era.

To explore the nature of these changes and examine the implications for production systems and practices in Asia, the ILO conducted a qualitative study in July 2020 with a group of 16 industry experts. The results provide an early and tentative picture of industry sentiment on key questions related to the future of Asian garment production, including the role of technology, buyer-supplier relationships, and the impact on workers.

Kurzbeschreibung:

Since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, garment workers around the world have been left unpaid or underpaid, causing a wage gap between what they received and what they are owed. This report from August 2020 estimates for seven countries the wage losses that workers have suffered and urges brands, retailers and e-tailers to commit to a wage assurance to make sure workers are made whole.
