The Fashion Checker is putting a spotlight on exploitation in the garment industry. Global fashion brands make grand promises about the wages they pay garment workers without providing any real evidence for their claims. What do their supply chains really look like? Find out with Fashion Checker, the online database that allows you to search and compare brands, their level of transparency and what workers in their supply chain are actually paid.

Description
Fashion Checker shows you what brands pay their workers and how that compares to a living wage. Clean Clothes Campaign has been fighting against exploitation and poverty wages in the garment industry for three decades. We've seen how the "maximise profits, minimise costs" strategy that brands use plays out for workers. It is clear that human rights abuses in garment supply chains continue unchecked for so long because of lack of meaningful transparency and no accountability. We want to change that.
