The Contract Supplier Working Group is committed to holding companies accountable for the labor, social and environmental conditions under which their products and services are produced or provided. This means that a company takes responsibility for all those whom it employs, directly or indirectly, through contract suppliers, vendors, licensees and sub-contractors. Companies need to take concrete actions to influence their vendors, suppliers and factory management to respect the dignity of the workers, pay a sustainable living wage and create a safe and healthy workplace where labor rights are respected.

Mission Statement

We believe justice requires that companies respect the rights of workers and the dignity of each person. We commit to pressing corporations to use their economic power to enforce their codes of conduct to ensure that their suppliers meet basic human and labor rights standards and that the lives of workers continuously improve. We believe workers and communities must be included in the benefits of the global economy.
