2/ @Primark @ASOS @riverisland @marksandspencer @ShopDirect @Matalan @Topshop @Topman @sainsburys & other #UK brands shd tell us whether they use the #PromptPaymentCode for their global suppliers. If not, why not? This is good practice.

THREAD How many #UK clothing brands & retailers follow the #PromptPaymentCode? promptpaymentcode.org.uk
This is good practice that curbs payment delays to suppliers that risks harming workers. #HangingbyaThread #ethicalfashion

Thank you @tee_wit! You're asking a tough but important question! Most things on the Thread I tweeted are yet to be done by brands. Of the 8 things on that list, most don't even do 4-5 things. :( #ethicalfashion

It's very important to have human rights friendly policies in place but clothing brands must not stop short of making their purchasing practices human rights friendly too. Great report by @hrw #bizhumanrights twitter.com/ajkashy/status…

9 Ask ur favorite #brands about IMPACT. They will tell you they have policies & have joined initiatives. But that's not good enough. For a strong eg. of how brands can publicly report impact, see bangladeshaccord.org page. Ask for data to believe! #HangingByAThread

8/ ASK ur fave brand whether their contracts w suppliers are fair. Many brands use one-sided contracts that unfairly burden suppliers w costs that risks harming workers. This shd stop. #HangingByAThread #ethicalfashion

7/ Many brands don't directly place orders w factories & use middlemen to do business. Unscrupulous agents/middlemen can be harmful to workers, brands, & factories. ASK ur fave brands whether they use agents (YES/NO?) & what steps they take to monitor this. #HangingByAThread pic.twitter.com/tqaF73y5xi

6/ Ask ur favorite #brands to publish their policy on #responsiblepurchasing. Don't let them brush this aside by saying they are part of some initiative. Say you want to READ "the policy on #responsiblepurchasing." #HangingbyaThread #ethicalfashion

4/ Poor workers find safety in numbers. Many like to band together thru democratically elected #unions & raise complaints together. Unions can help negotiate #decentwork conditions w factories by signing agreements known as collectivebargaining agreements. #freedomofassociation pic.twitter.com/SNR4Evz0yR

5/5 Many clothing brands manipulate contracts, using their leverage to avoid paying for their own mistakes, such as design changes that lead to shipment delays

3/5 Clothing brands that delay payment to factories for the work they do lead to delays in factories paying workers’ wages and benefits.
It can even delay factory safety improvements. #RanaPlazaNeverAgain #ethicalfashion pic.twitter.com/RXiI5xPQmM
