We use three complementary approaches to advance our vision of an equitable and empowered work force. We monitor conditions in the factories we contract with - focusing on those that are most important to the business and where we believe the risks are highest - and require corrective action when we find shortcomings. We also work with manufacturing management to build their capacity to do it right in the first place, by helping them develop effective human resources and other management capabilities. Finally, we collaborate with others to promote a consistent, coordinated, effective approach intended to raise performance across the industry.

This section provides an overview of the factories we contract with and the workers they hire. It also discusses our monitoring approach and results of that monitoring.
