Design, development, and buying choices matter a lot. For example, choosing a specific material may unintentionally link your brand’s name and reputation to possible human rights violations somewhere in your supply chain. With the new EU legislation, brands are expected to manage their supply chain human rights risks and report about them. In our interactive workshop, you will experience how the Fair Wear hands-on human rights tools, good practices, and examples can support you in staying ahead of legislation. The focus of the workshop is on responsible design practices and responsible purchasing practices.
