(New York, December 18, 2019) – Clothing and footwear brands and retailers have dramatically increased their disclosure of information about their supply chains in the past three years, a coalition of unions, human rights groups, and labor rights advocates said in a joint report released today. In 2016, the coalition created the Transparency Pledge, a minimum standard of supply chain transparency that enables advocates, workers, and consumers to find out where a brand’s products are made.

Last week, the G20 Labor and Employment Ministers issued the 2017 LEMM Declaration—the final product of six months of multilateral engagement and discussion on key issues relating to the promotion of productive and decent work at the global level.
