YOUR INDEPENDANT GUARANTEE THAT NEUTRAL® FACTORIES LIVE UP TO INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHT NORMS.
SA8000
SA8000 is based on the principles of international human rights norms. It measures the performance of companies in eight key areas: child labour, forced labour, health and safety, free association and collective bargaining, discrimination, disciplinary practices, working hours and compensation.
MAKE SURE YOUR WORKERS ARE OKAY
Factory workers are hardworking people. It's okay when they have good, safe working conditions.
By using SA8000, the highest international labour standard in the world, we know that's the case.
DEFICIENT NATIONAL REGULATION
In the developing countries where most of today’s clothing is produced, governance practices do not sufficiently promote decent work or protect the rights of workers.
INTERNATIONAL HUMAN RIGHTS
SA8000 is based on the principles of international human rights norms. It is the highest labor rights standard and secures protection of Neutral® factory workers rights.
WEAK BARGAINING POSITION
The respect of unions is not universal leaving workers in a weak position at the labour market. And even in countries where laws on free association are in place, union members still face discrimination and harassment.
EMPOWERMENT OF WORKERS
Together, workers have a stronger voice. With SA8000 we are ensured that Neutral® workers have the right to unionize and bargain collectively, which lead to a greater degree of a respectful labour market.
UNREASONABLE WAGE
The industry minimum wage does not sustain the livelihoods of factory workers many factories do not even pay the minimum wage.
FAIR WAGE
SA8000 respect the right of personnel to receive a living wage making sure that Neutral® factory workers are paid a wage they can actually live on.
