Kurzbeschreibung:

Climate change, population growth, and shortages of key resources are already affecting the industry and they will bring profound changes over the next 15 years. By 2025 there are expected to be another billion people living on this planet and twice as many elderly people. Climate change will have major impacts on agriculture and patterns of global land use. Many communities will change radically, affecting the needs of the industry’s customers and the availability of labour. Demand for energy, water and food will grow, prices are likely to rise, and control of resources will be a key political issue. Other factors will shape our world in less predictable ways. China, India and other emerging economies will change global patterns of trade and power and exercise a growing cultural influence. Technology will continue to transform our lives and businesses and create new opportunities – think of the impact the internet has had in the last 15 years. People’s attitudes to resource shortages, climate change and sustainability, and their levels of disposable income, will affect consumer demand. How governments act, or fail to act, on trade, economics, the environment and poverty, and how they coordinate action on these and other global issues will also have a huge impact. They cover a wide range of issues and pose some searching questions: The future is likely to be dramatically different from today. We have created four scenarios, exploring the challenges ahead for the fashion industry and its current business models.

  • How will the industry react to shortages of cotton and other raw materials?
  • How could the fashion workforce be affected by shifting supply chains and technological development?
  • How might technology influence fashion and change the way it is produced and sold?
  • How will people care for their clothes in a future of water shortages and high energy prices?
  • How could reuse and remanufacturing of clothing develop as a response to higher demand and prices?

The four scenarios explore worlds where globalisation has progressed or gone into reverse and where society and its fashions change more rapidly than today.

Turkey Country Study 2017/2018

Herausgeber_in: Fair Wear Foundation

Kurzbeschreibung:

The garment industry is Turkey’s second largest industry, responsible for a large proportion of total export, with the European Union (EU) as the biggest purchaser. Although the industry is familiar with international workplace standards as well as the audits of international buyers, improvements are still needed in many aspects of its labour conditions. Small and medium-sized factories with a wide sub-contractor chain dominate the industry, with the working conditions deteriorating throughout the supply chain.

This country study examines the situation in Turkey in 2017, using statistics from that year and previous years. Where relevant, current information from 2018 has been included.

Indonesia Country Study 2018

Herausgeber_in: Fair Wear Foundation

Kurzbeschreibung:

The garment industry is a significant contributor to Indonesia’s large economy. In fact, it was the fifth greatest contributor to Indonesia’s non-oil and gas manufacturing export figures from 2014 to 2017, growing at an average of 1.1 % during that period. It is also an important source of employment, accounting for around 26.6 % of jobs in the manufacturing sector. The industry is affected by changes to economic conditions in the US and Europe, the major destinations for its products. It also faces the challenge of competing with other garment-producing countries such as Vietnam and Bangladesh, with costs including labour, affecting competitiveness.

Another challenge for the garment industry lies in meeting international expectations about the treatment of workers. Conditions in garment factories vary considerably. They are generally much worse in medium and small enterprises, which do not attract the kinds of scrutiny that large suppliers to international brands are subjected to. The industry has received a great deal of attention from international and local NGOs and trade unions, but there remains much to be done before the standards embedded in FWF Code of Labour Practice are fully met even in more compliant segments of the sector. In terms of labour rights, Indonesia has signed key international human rights instruments, including the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) and all eight core International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions. However, the extent to which these commitments are reflected in Indonesian legislation and in its implementation, varies. Like many countries in the region, it also continues to experience serious problems in terms of the implementation of many aspects of its legal framework. This core problem has led to issues with freedom of association and the right to bargain collectively; working hours and conditions, including the right of women to be free of sexual harassment in the workplace; occupational health and safety; and the right to a living wage. FWF will continue to provide updated information on Indonesia at www.fairwear.org and will update this country study on a periodic basis in the future.

Kurzbeschreibung:
The fashion industry has a clear opportunity tact differently, pursuing profit and growth while alscreating new value for the world economy. It comes with an urgent need tplace environmental, social and ethical improvements on management’s agenda. In the first Pulse of the Fashion Industry report (May 2017), The Global Fashion Agenda, in collaboration with The Boston Consulting Group, have made an in-depth assessment of the industry’s environmental and social performance. Drawing on the Sustainable Apparel Coalition’s Higg Index and a survey of more than 90 senior managers responsible for sustainability issues and a variety of other sources, it offers the first comprehensive common fact base on the health of the industry – with a “Pulse Score” by type of company, size, region and stage in the value chain.

Kurzbeschreibung:
The garment industry is one of the most labour-intensive manufacturing industries in the world. Clothing companies are constantly on the look-out for production locations that can make clothes quickly and at low costs. Over the past few years, Myanmar has rapidly become a popular sourcing destination for the garment industry – due ta huge pool of cheap labour and favourable import and export tariffs. However, working conditions in this industry are far from acceptable. Labour rights violations are rife. Workers whare bold enough may file complaints or resort topen protests, news of which sometimes finds its way intinternational media. More often, workers toil on in silence. As well as describing the most pressing problems, the authors of this report offer suggestions for constructive ways forward thead off a crisis before it escalates.

Kurzbeschreibung:
Thousands of Syrians whhave fled their war-torn home country are working in Turkey’s apparel factories. Most of them dnot have work permits and are desperate tearn an income, which makes them highly vulnerable texploitation by employers. Many Syrians in the Turkish garment sector are getting paid below the minimum wage, even though they work long hours in unhealthy and dangerous conditions. Cases of employment of Syrian refugee children have alsbeen reported. Turkey is the third-largest non-EU garment-exporting country tSweden and Norway after China and Bangladesh, and an important sourcing market for the Nordic clothing brands H&M, KappAhl, Lindex, Gina Tricot and Varner (BikBok, Cubus, Carlings, Dressman, Urban et al.). This study investigates how these five brands are tackling the risk of abuse and discrimination of Syrian refugees in their supply chains in Turkey

Kurzbeschreibung:
The Syrian conflict may seem distant tfashion companies and consumers, but the war is having a direct impact on the garment sector through its supply chain. A growing number of Syrian children, hired in violation of International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions that prohibit child labour, are used as cheap manpower in Turkish textile factories. Brands that only account for a small percentage of a factory’s production have limited leverage tdemand changes, which is why FWF encourages cooperation between members sourcing from the same suppliers tboost their influence. “If you’re lucky enough tfind other FWF members working with the same manufacturer, this is the best case scenario,” says Sven König. “You can combine corrective efforts and have more leverage, more impact.” Vaude won the 2015 FWF Best Practice award for a joint training project conducted in cooperation with twother companies, Jack Wolfskin and Salewa. Fair Wear Foundation is in favour of working together with other multi stakeholder initiatives like FLA and ETI. Creating an environment in which garment companies can be more honest about the darker sides of the industry and engage constructively with their suppliers would be an important step towards preventing child labour. “We want brands tbe frank and open about it,” says Margreet Vrieling of FWF. “Brands and suppliers must give each other room tdbusiness in a respectful way.”

Turkey: Country Study 2016

Herausgeber_in: Fair Wear Foundation

Schlagwörter: Arbeitsbedingungen, Arbeitsrechtsverletzungen, Arbeitszeiten, Gewerkschaft, Lohn, Menschenrechtsverletzungen, Textilindustrie, Textilproduktion, Türkei, EU

Kurzbeschreibung:
The garment industry is Turkey’s second largest industry, and is responsible for a large proportion of Turkey’s total exports. The European Union is the largest purchaser of Turkish garment. Small and medium-sized factories with a wide sub-contractor chain dominate the industry, with the working conditions deteriorating down the supply chain. Therefore, although the industry is familiar with international workplace standards and the audits of international buyers, improvements are still needed in many aspects of labour conditions. The issue of unregistered employment is a growing concern throughout the garment industry. It is estimated that almost 70% of the total workforce in the sector is unregistered. This results in workers whare unable tassert their rights tsocial security, job security, freedom of association and right tcollective bargaining. In addition tunregistered employment, the current regulations in Turkey make unionisation a challenge. Although Turkey has ratified the relevant ILConventions, the country has been criticised by ILand the European Union for not complying with international standards on freedom of association and the right tcollective bargaining. A new Act on Trade Unions and Collective Labour Agreements was adopted and took effect in 2012, but the law continues tbe problematic when it comes tcompliance with ILstandards. The wage level in the garment industry is insufficient tprovide workers with a living wage. Although Turkey has the highest minimum wage among FWF priority countries, the legal minimum wage, which can be considered the industry’s average wage, is approximately 28% of the living wage estimates of local stakeholders.

Schlagwörter: Arbeitsbedingungen, Arbeitsrechtsverletzungen, Arbeitszeiten, Gewerkschaft, Indonesien, Lohn, Menschenrechtsverletzungen, Textilindustrie, Textilproduktion

Kurzbeschreibung:
A significant contributor tIndonesia’s large economy, the garment industry is an important employer of women in both the formal and informal sector. Conditions at factories vary considerably, and are generally much worse in medium and small enterprises, which dnot attract the kinds of scrutiny that large suppliers tinternational brands are subjected to. The garment industry in Indonesia has received a great deal of attention from international and local NGOs and trade unions, but much remains tbe done before the standards embedded in FWF Code of Labour Practice are fully met even in the more compliant segments of the sector. In legal terms, Indonesia is highly compliant with ILcore conventions and other important human and labour rights instruments including CEDAW. Like many countries in the region, however, it continues texperience serious problems in terms of implementation of its legal framework. This has led tissues with freedom of association and the right tcollective bargaining; working hours and conditions, including the right of women tbe free of sexual harassment in the workplace; occupational health and safety; and the right ta living wage.

This country study should provide a clear and concise picture of the industry, labour law, labour conditions and industrial relations within the textile/garment industry. The study is prepared through gathering information about national laws and local stakeholders’ view on labour issues in the garment industry in Myanmar. Chapter 2, General country information, describes the economic, social, political, and governance situation as well as the general human rights situation, using international indicators and comparing the country tother garment producing countries. Chapter 3, Stakeholders, briefly presents the main stakeholders that are active in the garment/textile industry. The focus is on stakeholders which have an actual impact on labour conditions or play an active role in monitoring the situation for workers in the industry. This chapter serves as a reference point for stakeholders and brands that want tengage with or consult a local stakeholder tfind further information or help concerning their activities in Myanmar. Chapter 4, Garment industry, presents an overview of the situation for the garment industry in Myanmar, areas of production, products and prospects for the industry. Chapter 5, Industrial relations, describes the trade union situation in the country, both in general and specifically for the garment industry. This chapter gives important information for understanding how well challenges regarding working conditions could be handled through the country’s social dialogue, and how they currently are. In Chapter 6, Implementation of the FWF Code of Labour Practices, the implementation of every standard of the FWF Code of Labour Practices is assessed through official statistics on compliance (where available), laws and regulations, as well as different stakeholders views on implementation.
