The Fair Wage Conference conference at the John Knox centre in Geneva was organised by the Fair Wage Network together with FLA, BSCI and FWF and was well attended by interested parties and organisations. The first day of the event was an exchange on recent work regarding monitoring and improving of wages by various initiatives (FWF, FLA, ETI, SAI, BSCI). The second day provided a wider forum for brands and trade associations. Several FWF members (Vaude, Mammut) and stakeholders (EOG, CCC) joined the event. FWF’s Ivo Spauwen explained how FWF member companies and factories are working with the wage lader.
