DAWN has shown advanced results on performance indicators. The company's production is in one place; a factory in Vietnam that was built for DAWN. A small percentage of the production is washed at a laundry subcontractor. This unique supply chain structure has enabled DAWN to test and analyse improvements that have a direct impact on the workforce. It has given the company high leverage and stable, personal relationships to invest in good labour standards. By working on improvements from an external audit as well as its own internal audits at the production location, the company has monitored 100% of its 2018/2019 volume. This, together with a benchmarking score of 99 has resulted in Leader status, even though this is the company's first performance check.

By having direct contact with its employees, DAWN shows a strong commitment to creating a satisfying working environment. This includes an empowerment training programme, well-being and development benefits and wages that meet a living wage estimate based on the Anker methodology, including private health insurance. DAWN has investigated the root causes of overtime and has implemented several strategies to mitigate the risks of excessive overtime.

Fair Wear encourages DAWN to continue analysing production planning in relation to reasonable working hours and the wage levels in relation to inflation and rising living costs. In this context it would be particularly relevant to include the other clients of the Vietnamese production facility in the discussion. In order to further support meaningful and effective dialogue structures, Fair Wear suggests that the Vietnam production facility takes part in the communication module of Fair Wear's Workplace Education Programme.
