FWF updates ‘Wage Ladder’ to make global comparisons easier
13/11/2014
Members can now compare wages between men and women and between departments, both on a country and region level, making negotiations between brands and factories more productive, says FWF.
A new feature enables FWF to better measure progress, such as establishing whether wages have increased between audits.
“The Wage Ladder is a first step to bridge the gap between minimum wages and living wages,” said FWF director Erica van Doorn. “It’s not a solution in itself. But it makes clear that the industry does not need to wait for an international standard to be developed. You can start moving wages ‘up the ladder’ today.”
The ladder is being used by 500 companies.
