Ensuring Responsible Business Conduct
Ensuring businesses adopt policies and practices on responsible business conduct that support the realisation of decent work, is key to Better Work’s strategy.
This page allows you to explore what companies have done to mitigate the risks of their own practices which we hope will inspire others to take action. The cases are presented within the structure of the 5 Principles of the Common Framework on Responsible Purchasing Practices, a reference point for the garment industry based on benchmarking of relevant resources and a wide stakeholder consultation.
Ensuring Responsible Business Conduct
Watch the Trailer: An Online Journey to Responsible Business Conduct
Aware that your company needs to address its own business conduct but not sure how to start? Or Want a deeper understanding of supply chain dynamics to support your discussions with brands around responsible business conduct?
Better Work, in collaboration with brands and other industry stakeholders, has developed an interactive foundational e-learning, to help participants better understand supply chain dynamics and how business conduct influence working conditions. The training, suitable for all levels and departments, is designed to increase brand staff awareness of the impact of their own decision making. With its focus on supply chain dynamics, the training is also designed to equip other industry actors – from governments, employers’ and workers’ associations – with the knowledge needed for discussions around business conduct with brands and others. Better Work top leaders from HQ and the field have offered more context on how the training is valuable to different audiences in a Q&A: Why is it the right time to talk about responsible business conduct?
This online course tracks a garment from inception to delivery. It provides an overview of global supply chain dynamics, sourcing modules and procurement, and highlights the impact of responsible business conduct at each stage of the process.
This interactive training is divided into eight modules, each consisting of an informational video and quiz for participants to check their understanding. The course, which takes only an hour to complete, is currently available in English, but can be made available in other languages, subject to demand. Your team will learn about:
- Complex apparel supply chain dynamics
- Why responsible business conduct is critical for good business
- How a company’s business model and business conduct impact working conditions
- Practical next steps to ensure business conduct has a positive impact on working conditions
- Additional resources
