ACT is an agreement between global brands and labour unions in pursuit of living wages in the global garment industry.
Info
ACT is an agreement between trade unions and both global brands and retailers to transform the garment, textile and footwear industry and achieve living wages for workers through collective bargaining at industry level, freedom of association and purchasing practices. Collective bargaining at industry level means that workers within a country can negotiate their wages under the same conditions, regardless of the factory they work in, and the retailers and brands they produce for. Linking it to purchasing practices means that payment of the negotiated wage is supported and enabled by the terms of contracts with global brands and retailers. ACT is the first global commitment on living wages in the sector that provides a framework through which all relevant actors, including brands and retailers, trade unions, manufacturers, and governments, can exercise their responsibility and role in achieving living wages.

Dr. Bärbel Kofler, Parliamentary State Secretary to the Federal Minister for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) on the occasion of the 2024 OECD Forum on Responsible Business Conduct: “Living wages are a human right and are central for combatting poverty. Together with Mira Neumaier from ACT, Christina Hajagos-Clausen from IndustriALL, Julia Thimm from Tchibo and Maximilian Iciok from Lidl I have discussed how we can achieve fair wages in the supply chain. Because currently, no living wages are paid in most production countries. This particularly affects women, who are the majority of workers in the textile supply chain. In order to achieve improvements, brands, suppliers, governments, trade unions and other actors need to work together. The BMZ promotes living wages and incomes on different level: Together with the ILO we are supporting the dialogue between the social partners towards living minimum wages, for example in Vietnam. In addition, we are supporting the development of an OECD Handbook for companies on living wages, which is to be published this year. ACT (Action, Collaboration, Transformation) is a global initiative of brands, retailers and IndustriALL Global. Since 2016, ACT works to achieve living wages for workers in the global garment, textile and footwear industry through collective bargaining at industry level and responsible purchasing practices”. https://lnkd.in/eWm5f789
