Partnership Initiatives

Partnership Initiative Complaints Mechanisms

Promoting complaints mechanisms and access to remedy is a fundamental part of corporate due diligence. Workers in the textile supply chain must have the opportunity to report abuses in the workplace and obtain effective remedy when needed.

This requires functioning complaints mechanisms. For example, internal factory complaint channels, civil society contact points and/or so-called back-up mechanisms of purchasing companies or industry initiatives are possible. The aim of the Partnership Initiative (BI) Complaint Mechanisms, which was launched in 2020, is therefore to support Partnership members in implementing effective complaint mechanisms. The BI already consists of two cooperation projects. Further projects are being planned.
