In line with our push for living wage legislation through the Good Clothes, Fair Pay campaign, we have added more in-depth indicators to assess brand disclosure on workers wages and the approximate percentage of workers paid by piece rate in the supply chain. Unless brands are transparent about this, it is impossible to hold them accountable to their commitments and timelines. This year, we have become more stringent in our review and only award progress on targets when it meets the criteria of being both time-bound and measurable.

Please read this letter signed by 33 NGOs, including Fashion Revolution, calling for full supply chain transparency in the clothing sector.Įach year we update the methodology in consultation with more than 20 pro-bono industry experts, including workers’ rights and environmental groups, trade union representatives, academics and investors, to push fashion brands and retailers to increase their transparency in line with industry trends and spotlight issues. We are one voice of many spanning across civil society, including NGOs and trade unions representing supply chain workers. We are not alone in calling for transparency. We also drive positive change through wider public awareness-raising and education, lobbying governments, championing small and responsible designers and building a network of activists around the world around a common vision. The Fashion Transparency Index is one tool that Fashion Revolution has developed to help bring about systemic change in the industry. The aim is for this information to be used by individuals, activists, experts, worker representatives, environmental groups, policymakers, investors and even brands themselves to scrutinise what big fashion brands are doing, hold them to account and work to make change a reality. Ultimately, the aim of the Index is not just transparency in and of itself.
