SANE is proud to announce it has joined the Global Deal partnerships.
The Global Deal partnership is hosted by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), in cooperation with the International Labour Organization (ILO).
The Global Deal is a multi-stakeholder partnership with the objective of addressing challenges in the global labour market so as to enable all people to benefit from globalisation. The fundamental idea at the heart of the Global Deal is to highlight the potential of sound industrial relations and enhanced social dialogue as a means to foster decent work, quality jobs, increased productivity, and, by extension, greater equality and inclusive growth.
The Global Deal brings governments, trade unions, employers, and businesses together to facilitate social dialogue.
As part of its commitment to the Global Deal, SANE will contribute to addressing critical challenges within the fashion industry, including the achievement of living wages, the pursuit of decent work, and the respect of workers’ rights. Moreover, SANE commits to fostering social dialogue by developing guidelines, implementing capacity-building programs, and facilitating knowledge-sharing initiatives.
Glenda Quintini, Head of the Global Deal Support Unit, said: “By welcoming SANE into the Global Deal family, we are not just advancing sustainability in fashion; we are forging a path towards a future where every worker’s rights are upheld, the environment is respected, and consumer’s health prioritized.”
SANE is thrilled to become a part of the Global Deal partnership. With the protection of workers’ rights being a cornerstone of our standard, it is crucial for SANE to engage in efforts to facilitate social dialogue.
