Cascale x Fair Wear Foundation
Two non-profit organizations, Cascale and Fair Wear Foundation, are teaming up to tackle human and labor rights issues in the apparel industry. They are going to include the environmental and social impact data platform Worldly.
This expansion aims to provide members with reliable resources and advice on the clothing and shoe industries. These resources, according to Fair Wear, can help manage human rights due diligence effectively, using tools like Cascale’s Higg Index.
According to Alexander Kohnstamm, the executive director of Fair Wear Foundation, collaboration is essential because individual brands’ responsibilities often require collective action. Kohnstamm emphasized the importance of clarity on what constitutes responsible business conduct and highlighted the need for collaboration to achieve meaningful change.
Both organizations recognize the importance of aligning due diligence initiatives with global norms, such as the OECD Due Diligence Guidelines and the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights.
