Trampling workers‘ rights underfoot. A snapshot on the Human Rights Due Diligence performance of 23 companies in the global footwear industry

Change Your Shoes initiated this shoe company assessment to get a snapshot of where the shoe industry stands in regard to social sustainability and to provide a resource for consumers on which brands are doing more and which are doing less to combat problems occurring throughout the global supply chain concerning workers‘ rights. Therefore, 23 companies with an influential presence on high streets across Europe have been assessed.
The assessment treats aspects such as the supply chain set-up as precondition for HRDD activities, transparency, the distribution of responsibility concerning breaches between business partners, the payment of living wages, occupational health and safety (OHS), the promotion of Freedom of Association (FoA) and Collective Bargaining, the protection of vulnerable groups as well as initiatives to improve working conditions.
