Goals and progress
Supply chain | Our evolution
Much has changed since we began our efforts to improve factory working conditions over 15 years ago.
We started with a focus on cut-and-sew factories and have since expanded our work to begin to address conditions across our broader supply chain.
Our Vendor Compliance Officers (VCOs) began by monitoring factory working conditions. Now they partner with factory management to help develop the management skills and human resource systems needed to address the root causes of problems.
We’ve progressed from doing this work alone to increasing our impact by engaging a broad range of partners such as labor rights groups, trade unions, factory owners and management, governments, non-governmental organizations and other companies.
