Better Work – a collaboration between the International Labor Organization (ILO) and the International Finance Corporation (IFC) – is a comprehensive programme bringing together all levels of the garment industry to improve working conditions and respect for labor rights for workers, and boost the competitiveness of apparel businesses. Better Work uses its convening power to facilitate development and implementation of strategic framework for learning, with the ultimate objective to transform behavior in global supply chains. Having worked in 8 countries and established active learning relations with over 1,500 factories (covering more than 2 Mio. Workers) throughout a decade of work, Better Work is uniquely positioned as a broker of a global private-public partnership that supports learning and accelerates processes leading towards behavioral change. Better Work has developed robust partnership with leading global buyers, national governments and social partners. As a result of their participation with Better Work, factories have steadily improved compliance with ILO core labor standards and national legislation covering compensation, contracts, occupational safety and health and working time. This has significantly improved working conditions and, at the same time enhanced factories’ productivity and profitability.
