Kurzbeschreibung:

The RMG industry, which accounts for approximately 80% of Bangladesh’s total exports, is a major contributor to the country’s economic advancement. As the coronavirus12 spread across the world in early 2020 and a lockdown in Bangladesh became inevitable, businesses were forced to respond quickly to the evolving situation. This report seeks to capture the responses of global brands and the subsequent effects on workers in the immediate aftermath. The report is drawn from indepth interviews with international brands, Bangladeshi suppliers, representatives of the international civil society, and Bangladeshi labour activists. It seeks to understand the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the industry and the workers. It proposes changes to policies and practices that can lead to long-term changes that would benefit global retailers, suppliers, and workers.

Kurzbeschreibung:

The negative economic and public health shocks of COVID-19 are reverberating in Ethiopia, and in particular in the country’s garment and textile sector.
A global collapse in demand for garments has been witnessed since the first quarter of 2020, following measures by governments to slow the spread of the pandemic. Restrictions on movement and economic activity has produced widespread retail closures and effects throughout supply chains, including prompting factory production suspensions and workforce layoffs. Cancellation of orders has left some garment manufacturers unable to pay workers as required.
A survey among Ethiopian manufacturers in April revealed the average capacity utilization rate had decreased by 30 per cent in Q1 2020 relative to the same period in 2019. Fully half of management respondents in the same survey said they expected employee layoffs in the second quarter of the year. Ethiopia has yet to reach its expected peak of COVID-19 infections, but the pandemic has accelerated in the country. As of the first week in June, the World Health Organization stated that there have been over 2,000 confirmed cases of the virus in the country. Factories are on high alert with regard to efforts to prevent, contain, and address fallout from the spread of the disease. As yet, no clusters of cases have been reported in major industrial zones in the country.

Kurzbeschreibung:
Fashion Revolution conducted the first consumer survey in 2018 among people aged 16-75 in the five largest European markets – Germany, France, Italy, Spain and the UK. In August 2020, a follow-up survey was carried out in the same countries to learn about their shopping behaviour in the last twelve months and current views on some of fashion’s most pressing social and environmental issues.

The research aimed to discover what information consumers would like fashion brands to share when it comes to social and environmental impacts and to better understand what roles consumers think that governments and laws should play in ensuring clothing is sustainably produced.

This survey is part of Trade Fair, Live Fair,’ a 3-year project funded by the European Commission that brings together 35 partners from the Fair Trade community across the EU to raise public awareness and contribute to achieving Goal 12.8 of the UN’s Sustainable Development framework: “ to ensure that, by 2030, people everywhere have the relevant information and awareness for sustainable development and lifestyles in harmony with nature”.

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.

Chemie in unberührter Natur

Greenpeace untersucht die globale Verbreitung gefährlicher per- und polyfluorierter Chemikalien

Herausgeber: Greenpeace e.V., Hamburg
Autor_innen: Cobbing, Madeleine / Jacobson, Therese / Santen, Manfred
Redaktion: Miller, Simone

Schlagwörter: Chemikalien, Umweltbelastung, per- und polyfluorierte Chemikalien, Greenpeace, Untersuchung, Messung, Outdoor-Kleidung, Forderungen

Kurzbeschreibung:
Outdoor-Marken werben mit dem Image der Naturverbundenheit und produzieren beeindruckende Bilder von den schönsten Orten der Welt, von einsamen Gebirgsseen und schneebedeckten Gebirgsmassiven. Doch die Chemie, durch die Outdoor-Bekleidung erst wetterfest wird, hinterlässt ihre Spuren auch an solchen Orten. Greenpeace-Mitarbeiter haben entlegene Gebirgsseen und Berggipfel in zehn Ländern auf drei Kontinenten besucht und Schnee- und Wasserproben genommen.
Die vorliegende Studie der Umweltschutzorganisation belegt das Vorkommen umwelt- und gesundheitsgefährdender per- und polyfluorierte Chemikalien (PFC) in diesen Naturparadiesen.

Herausgeber: War on Want, research by Khorshed Alam of the Alternative Movement for Resources and Freedom Society, written by Murray Worthy

Schlagwörter: Olympia, London 2012, Sportbekleidung, Sponsoring, Werbung, Untersuchung, Research

Kurzbeschreibung: For multinational sportswear companies, the Olympics represent a unique opportunity to market their goods to worldwide audiences and to associate their brands with the spirit of the Games. No other sporting event offers such a positive image of capitalist enterprise in the service of a higher purpose. Yet behind the gloss and glamour, many of these same companies are failing to play fair with the very people who make their goods.
This report presents a detailed picture of the conditions faced by workers in Bangladesh, mostly women, who produce the sportswear sold by leading brands Adidas, Nike and Puma.

Based on our face-to-face interviews with workers producing their sportswear, Adidas, Nike and Puma are failing to uphold the Olympic ideals of fair play and respect. Five of the six factories covered by our research do not even pay their workers the legal minimum wage in Bangladesh, let alone a living wage that would allow them to meet their basic needs.

How this research was conducted
The findings in this report are based on interviews with 65 garment workers in six factories supplying goods for Adidas, Nike and Puma. All six factories were listed on Adidas, Nike and Puma’s current public supplier lists; at the time of publication of this report, Puma claimed to have made a mistake in including one of the factories featured in this report in its supplier list, stating that it no longer sources goods from that supplier. The interviews were conducted between October 2011 and January 2012 by War on Want partners the National Garment Workers’ Federation and the Alternative Movement for Resources and Freedom Society.

The interviews were conducted outside of working hours in a safe space where the workers could discuss the issues raised. All workers were assured that their involvement in the research would remain confidential. As a result all the names mentioned in this report have been changed to protect the workers’ identities
