Clean Clothes Campaign
The Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) takes action on specific issues related to unfair labour conditions. As workers producing clothes for brands and retailers around the world struggle to organise and improve their own conditions, so consumers, trade unionists and activists worldwide can join together to exert pressure at all levels of supply chains. The CCC brings together consumers, trade unions, campaign groups and other diverse organisations to do just that, calling on those with the power in global supply chains to take responsibility for workers' rights. National CCCs target companies in their countries, pushing them to take action. They also work as part of the international CCC network - including partners in countries where garments are made - to join together for coordinated international campaigns such as the Play Fair 2008 campaign.
