The FWF Code of Labour Practices contains eight elements, which are based on United Nations and International Labour Organization principles:
Employment is freely chosen
There is no discrimination in employment
No exploitation of child labour
Freedom of association & the right to collective bargaining
Payment of a living wage
No excessive working hours
Safe & healthy working conditions
Legally-binding employment relationship
FWF regularly verifies the implementation of these labour practices through factory audits and worker interviews both onsite and offsite, and through annual ‘Brand Performance Checks’ which assess how well each member’s management policies support the Code of Labour Practices. FWF publicly reports on the progress of member companies towards implementation of the Code elements.
