We see the possibility of a systemic shift toward genuinely decent and dignified work; the kind of work people can take pride in creating and sustaining.
No single party can bring that future into being
Real, lasting change will require commitment and collaboration from across the system.
Deep fatigue, mistrust, and uncertainty about what a viable alternative looks like will need to be addressed. Fears of exposure, loss of control, and wasted effort must also be overcome.
That’s why building trust, curiosity, and a sense of co-ownership is so critical before we begin to design detailed solutions.
“What does it take to build genuinely decent and dignified work?”
We are bringing together first-movers across the garment sector to imagine what a new system could look like and to co-create a future where work is genuinely decent and dignified.
This is not a programme. It is a collaborative, cross-system process to imagine and build something better.
We don’t have all the answers but hope that in exploring collaboratively, we create pathways to meaningful, lasting change for workers and the systems around them.
Reasons for hope
Promising models show that creating decent and dignified work doesn't just improve workers' lives; it leads to earlier detection of problems, more lasting improvements in labour conditions, and supply chains that are stronger and more resilient over time. The benefits extend further, strengthening the communities and economies in which workers participate.
We are committed to exploring these approaches together with our partners, and to understanding, in turn, how improvements in labour conditions and worker wellbeing shape and strengthen the business model itself.
