Fair Wear is an independent not-for-profit foundation. Independence is guaranteed by a tripartite (multi-stakeholder) board, in which industry associations, trade unions and (labour) NGOs are equally represented. The board represents three types of stakeholder organisations, with an independent chair.

The Board and staff are supported by an external advisory committee, the Committee of Experts. The experts come from the same wide spectrum of organisations as the Board. Their knowledge and experience ensure a profound contribution to Fair Wear’s decision making. The Committee of Experts meets at least four times a year.
