by GIZ FABRIC created 2023-07-14T08:50:33+07:00
Briefings and discussion for business and civil society, about current wage and human rights impacts on workers in garment supply chains.

This roundtable is an opportunity for brands and other supply chain stakeholders to hear about fashion supply chain worker impacts resulting from the economic downturn globally, and be briefed on a number of different areas of country work happening to support human rights protection.

Briefings on the different topics will cover the Pakistan and Sri Lankan inflation situations and economic crises, collapse of orders in the UK industry and the impact on UK workers, the economic downturn pressures on the Bangladesh minimum wage revision process, and research findings on homeworker impacts. There will be an opportunity for question and comments with each topic.

This roundtable is specifically reaching out to UK fashion brands and stakeholders with an interest in UK fashion supply chains, but others are welcome to join.
