Social Dialogue and FoA Resources

In 2022, Fair Wear revised the guidance and tools that we have developed to aid brands in creating an enabling environment for freedom of association and social dialogue. The two publications are designed for use in tandem. Use the Guide to understand how & when to use the tools, and the Tools to implement the Guide.
