To ensure a transparent global garment supply chain in which workers are paid a living wage and no longer experience human rights abuses and labour exploitation.

Situation
Garment production takes place almost exclusively in countries where worker rights’ infringements and labour exploitation are common. While the garment industry generates huge profits, young girls, women and migrants – the vast majority of the workforce – are being paid wages that force them to live in poverty. Living wages are a human right yet this industry is built on exploitation and growing under a lack of transparency that makes holding brands accountable difficult.
Solution
LBL is committed to ending exploitation in the garment industry. As part of the global Clean Clothes Campaign network we will work with partners to push for systemic change to this exploitative industry. We will continue to push brands to commit to disclose public supply chain data which includes wage data and use this as leverage for further advocacy. We will continue to liaise with brands and hold them to account when human rights are abused, ensuring workers' demands are heard and respected.
