Adidas, Nike and Patagonia are among brands that have joined together to form a Social and Labor Convergence Project, with the aim of improving working conditions in the apparel and footwear manufacturing sector.

 The partners will develop a methodology for social and labour performance assessment in the supply chains, and have said through convergence of assessment tools, costs on duplicated auditing will be significantly reduced, and the money saved will instead be used to improve social welfare for millions of people employed in the sector.
