PARTNER-LED SESSION Unlocking win-win through supply chain industrial relations (on-site only)

Feb 12, 2025 | 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM
Room D

Description

Organised by ACT (Action, Collaboration, Transformation) This session is led by a partner organisation and may not reflect the views of the OECD.

The session will explore the supply chain industrial relations framework which enabled employers, trade unions and global brands in Cambodia to establish the first collective bargaining agreements on wages supported by legally-binding brand agreements on commercial commitments. The panel will explore how supply chain industrial relations connect national-level collective bargaining with brand purchasing practices to enable predictable, transparent and scalable improvement of wages and working conditions in garment supply chains, while at the same time supporting productivity increases and delivering cutting-edge due diligence implementation for brands and suppliers. Facilitated through the ACT (Action, Collaboration, Transformation) programme in Cambodia, the innovative supply chain collaboration demonstrates a groundbreaking blueprint for effectively addressing the systemic challenge of wages within competitive pressure in the global garment industry. Please note that this workshop will not be livestreamed.
