Living Wages Paid Disclosure
About the data
This metric is part of a Clean Clothes Campaign project to investigate wages in apparel supply chains. The project, Fashion Checker, is funded by the European Commission and comprises research, campaigning, capacity building and advocacy around an innovative transparency tool.
Fashion Checker enables users to see at a glance which fashion brands and retailers have the largest gaps between their public commitments on wages, what workers are actually paid, and what they should be paid to be earning a Living Wage in their regional context.
Clean Clothes Campaign defines a living wage as wage that is earned in a standard working week of no more than 48 hours and allows the garment worker to be able to buy food for herself and her family, pay the rent, pay for healthcare, clothing, transportation and education and have a small amount of savings for when something unexpected happens.

Methodology
This metric is asking whether the company publicly discloses the percentage of supplier factories where a living wage is paid, and indicates which part of the supply chain this covers.
If the company does publish living figures, the data must be from the last two years and be broken down at minimum by country-level.
Start by searching on the company’s website and within their published documents such as policy documents, annual reports and sustainability reports.
