Good keywords for your searches include:

Things to keep in mind:
- We are looking for information about how brands calculate and benchmark living wage rates for workers in their supply chain, such as by using the Anker methodology, Asia Floor Wage or WageIndicator Foundation data. They could be using multiple benchmarks.
- We will also accept if the brand uses in-house methods of calculating living wages but only if they disclose their calculation methodology.
