Social Responsibility in the Global Apparel Industry
Social Responsibility in the Global Apparel Industry provides an in-depth examination of labor practices and standards in the apparel industry and what manufacturers are doing to improve conditions for thousands of workers around the world. The authors address the complexity of identifying and finding solutions for such problems as child labor, harassment and abuse, discrimination, excessive work hours, low wages, factory health and safety, and limits on freedom of association. The authors also introduce various supply chain stakeholders, what they demand, and how they have influenced the industry's movement toward greater social responsibility. They highlight trends in global production and sourcing and introduce how environmental concerns important to the industry are being addressed.
