The initiative, started by the STAR Network, supported by GIZ FABRIC, the International Apparel Federation (IAF) and the Better Buying Institute, presented its plans at the OECD Forum on Due Diligence in the Garment and Footwear Sector on February 3.
This marked a joint global effort, led by manufacturers, to establish a common position on payment and delivery conditions in the industry. Suppliers participating in this effort represent roughly two-thirds of the global market share of global apparel and footwear factory exports.
