| There’s a growing trend of global apparel companies adopting supply chain transparency. It starts with these companies publishing the names, addresses, and other important information about the factories manufacturing their branded products.
This is a powerful tool for promoting garment workers’ rights. When tragedy strikes, as it did four years ago when Bangladesh's Rana Plaza building collapsed and killed over 1,100 garment workers, advocates and consumers should know whose clothes are being made where.
More companies should follow this trend and #GoTransparent. A new campaign asks five of them - Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, Walmart, Primark, and Armani - to do just that. They know where the clothes they sell come from. But we don't. Let's change that. |
