Description

Organised by GIZ’s FABRIC Cambodia project (funded by BMZ). This session is led by partner organisations and may not reflect the views of the OECD. Drawing on Cambodia's experiences as it approaches least-developed-country graduation, the session will explore how government-led labour reforms, private-sector and trade unions engagement, and targeted environmental, textile waste and occupational safety and health initiatives have been implemented in practice. Speakers from government, industry, worker representatives, brands, and development cooperation will discuss what has worked, where challenges remain, and how the collaboration amongst the tripartite constituents, the brands, and development partners can strengthen due diligence outcomes for workers, businesses, and buyers alike and highlight practical lessons for garment-producing countries facing similar economic and regulatory transitions. Please note that this session will not be livestreamed.
