Fair Wear Foundation (FWF) is an independent non-profit that works with apparel brands to improve labor conditions in garment factories. Member brands commit to a Code of Labour Practices covering eight standards: no forced labor, no discrimination, no child labor, freedom of association, living wages, reasonable hours, safe conditions and legally binding employment.
FWF performs factory audits, complaint handling, and annual brand performance evaluations — and publishes the results. Brand performance is graded as Leader, Good, Needs Improvement or Suspended.
Unlike a product label, FWF certifies brand-level commitment and follow-through. It's especially common among European fair-fashion brands.
