Both the garment- and the food, agri and retail sector have been seriously affected by the pandemic this year. The Platform Living Wage Financials has continued its investor dialogue on living wages throughout these trying times. We are convinced that now more than ever it is important to include workers’ rights in global supply chain and to make the systemic shift needed to move from policies & promises to practice & impact on the ground.
The Platform organises two separate webinars for the garment sector and the food, agri and retail sector. The garment sector webinar will take place on October 6th, and the food, agri and retail sector webinar will take place on October 7th.
Alongside participants such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO), Moyee Coffee, Fair Wear Foundation, ACT, IOI and many more The Platform will discuss the challenges and opportunities of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as share the results of its 2020 living wage assessment cycles in both sectors. Feel free to attend one or both of the webinars.
