Hey everyone
There is an
international campaign called CCC (what means Clean Clothes Campaign), which is fighting for better conditions of
employment in the clothing industry. In developing countries there are many
people who work for a breadline wage (sometimes 16 hours a day and seven days a
week). There are also many factories which got children (under 15) as labours.
Some fashion
boutiques want to sell clothes as cheap as possible and to react quickly with
new vogues. And of course it’s a rat race between the different labels. At this
stage some famous names made a change and realise their social responsibility.
The reasons are ethical grounds or the pressure of the publicity.
There is a video I found from H&M. Have a look at it.
There the
website of a campaign in UK:
As you can see
there is a category “See company scores” where you can look your favourite labels
up. For example there are some forerunners like Marks & Spencer, Monsoon Accessorize,
Inditex (including ZARA, Massimo Dutti, Pull & Bear and Bershka) and some
who just started yet to care about their social responsibility or who didn’t give
some information.
And here is
the homepage of CCC:
If you want
some information about your country there are further links to interesting homepages
about this topic on this page.
Do you
think the labels the labels notice their social responsibility? Do you care
about faire trade? Please let me know.
