Fashion Revolution is a global movement campaigning for a fashion industry that conserves and restores the environment and values people over growth and profit. The organisation works in over 90 countries worldwide, with both an innovative and international approach to research, education and advocacy. Fashion Revolution was founded in 2014 by Carry Somers and Orsola de Castro with the aim to increase transparency in the fashion industry and stand in solidarity with the people who make our clothes. Since then, it has grown to be the world’s largest fashion activism movement, mobilising citizens, brands and policymakers to make positive change. The key pillars of change which Fashion Revolution pushes for include shifting the culture of fashion production and consumption, incentivising fashion brands and retailers to improve their practices and advocating for policy which holds the industry accountable for its impact. The global fashion industry is opaque, exploitative and environmentally damaging and desperately needs revolutionary change. Fashion Revolution wants to ignite a revolution to radically change the way our clothes are sourced, produced and purchased. We believe transparency is the first step to transform the industry, and it starts with one simple question: who made my clothes? Join us by showing your clothing label and asking brands #whomademyclothes, to show that you care and demand better for the people who make our clothes. We want brands to respond by showing us the people in their supply chain with the hashtag #imadeyourclothes. We want to see the faces and hear the stories from thousands of makers, farmers and producers, and see an increasing number of brands make their supply chains more transparent.

Fair Wear Foundation (Fair Wear) works with garment companies to improve labour conditions in the garment industry. Members of Fair Wear - European garment companies - work towards improving the labour conditions in factories that produce their garments. The basis of the collaboration between Fair Wear and a member is the Code of Labour Practices. Fair Wear verifies whether companies comply with the Code of Labour Practices, by keeping track of the improvements made by the companies it works with. The truth is that most garments and sewn products are not (yet) made in fully compliant conditions. For this reason, Fair Wear does not claim that its members’ products are produced in full compliance with labour standards. Fair Wear does however verify that members are working hard, step-by-step, in this direction. Every year, Fair Wear publicly reports on the companies’ progress through the Brand Performance Checks. Fair Wear's verification system exists at three levels: Fair Wear verifies at the company level to check whether companies implement the Fair Wear Code of Labour Practices in their management systems effectively and Fair Wear verifies at factory level. Finally, Fair Wear implements a complaints procedure in all countries where it is active. This enables the workers at the factory to bring to light (anonymously) any abuses related to labour conditions. Fair Wear joins together business associations, trade unions, and NGOs as equal partners at every level of Fair Wear activity – from decision-making at the Board level to workplace verification. Each stakeholder group has an important role to play in improving working conditions, and the impact is that much greater when they all work together. Fair Wear's more than 80 member companies represent over 120 brands, and are based in Europe; member products are sold in over 20,000 retail outlets in more than 80 countries around the world.
