J.C. RAGS wins Fair Wear Best Practice Award 2012

FWF would like to congratulate J.C. Rags, winner of this year’s FWF Best Practice Award, and runners-up Jack Wolfskin and KTC.

Every year, during the FWF Annual Conference, an award is presented to the FWF member company with the Best Practice: something they’ve been doing (or are planning on doing) to improve labour conditions that are newer, smarter, more effective or simply easier than what FWF asks them to do.

A Jury consisting of NGO, Trade Union and Business Association voices selected the three best entries and presented their case to the audience. This year’s three nominees were:

• Jack Wolfskin
• J.C. Rags
• KTC

Winning company J.C. Rags was commended for its efforts to integrate a structured monitoring system into its purchasing practices. An overview of the three cases and the jury report will be made available here in the near future.
