We also work with different stakeholders on a national level
Key Better Work partners in improving working conditions in the garment industry and boost the competitiveness of the sector are:
GovernmentBetter Work Egypt has been working closely with the national government in the country since its inception.
Workers and unionsWe work with unions and directly with workers to help realize their rights on the factory floor and find ways to boost their skills so that they can engage in productive discussions and negotiate with employers.
Our Trade Union contact group helps us to work together. Trade unions play a central role in our work at all levels; factory, sectoral and national levels. This partnership helps us to further understand factory relations, enabling us to establish a productive social dialogues, which helps us effectivity advocate for the rights of workers.
Factories and manufacturersFactory and manufacturer enterprises are key partners in our efforts to create better conditions for garment workers in a way that also boosts business performance. We believe that effective cooperation and mutual trust between employers and their workers not only leads to better working conditions but also better results for business.
Brands and retailersOur brands, retailers and intermediaries are industry leaders in the movement to re-imagine the global supply chain, where workers’ rights are realised and businesses gain a competitive advantage to grow.
Our partner brands, retailers and intermediaries commit to coordinate efforts in order to maximize impact, for example by reducing duplicate audits and by supporting improvement efforts of suppliers in a manner that is complementary and reinforces Better Work Egypt’s assistance to factories.
