Fix Fashion: Information is Power

Petition

Since we launched our petition in May we have had a huge response with over 6,300 people signing so far, to ask shoe and clothing brands to publish their suppliers and take responsibility for working conditions.

Have you signed yet? Visit http://labourbehindthelabel.org/get-involved/take-action/ to take action. And please remember to share the petition too.

Results

We've been keeping the pressure on the brands, and sharing the campaign on social media to raise awareness and encourage more people to take action. Some of the brands don't want to talk to us, but we're organising meetings with others to talk to them about how they can improve. Our goal is to get more brands to commit to greater transparency, less reliance on toxic chemicals and to respect the rights of workers.

What do these latest commitments to transparency actually look like? Well, here's an example from ASOS who have recently published their sourcing map:

and factory list, which they have committed to updating every two months:

We’ll be sharing more of these stories when they arise. Make sure you follow us on Facebook and Twitter to keep updated. 

Day of action

Our big news is that we're planning a double day of action in October before the petition closes. On 6 and 7 October supporters, activists and shoppers around the country will be getting involved in actions at shoe and clothing stores. You can get involved! Sign up to our mailing list at http://labourbehindthelabel.net/newsletter-sign-up/ to hear more over the coming weeks.
