p. 4 - IndustriALL membership as a framework to support workers' freedom of association

"Freedom of association
Freedom of association is a fundamental right and the basis for employees to participate in shaping their working conditions. While most companies include respect for workers’ freedom of association as a key part of their codes of conduct, brands often lack the tools to uphold this commitment in a meaningful way.
In order to support this important work, Esprit joined IndustriALL Global Union in signing a Global Framework Agreement. Under this agreement, IndustriALL and its affiliates in apparel producing countries will work with Esprit to support workers’ freedom of association in countries where such rights are all too often ignored. Currently, Esprit is one of five global apparel brands to have signed such an agreement."
