This consultation focuses on revising the Fairtrade Textile Standard, with particular attention to living wages, working hours, and supplier accountability.

Key discussion areas include:

• Strengthening wage progression requirements to achieve living wages within a set timeframe.
• Enhancing grievance mechanisms and risk assessments for subcontracted facilities.
• Increasing transparency on brand purchasing practices to prevent unfair cost-shifting.

Participants may submit written feedback or join targeted regional dialogues for input on wage methodologies and implementation timelines. A summary of consultation feedback will be made public in Q3 2025, prior to final standard publication.
