More and more global brands are committing to closing the living wage gap by engaging in Fair Wage Network’s Living Wage Gap Analysis and Certification.
Hundreds of companies across diverse sectors have become certified as Living Wage Employers, including Michelin, AXA and HSBC, while some – like Unilever, L’Oréal and Schneider Electric – are re-certified year after year.
This demonstrable commitment translates into millions of euros invested to ensure living wage payment for all employees, creating tangible improvements in the lives of millions of workers worldwide.
Several brands choose to extend their excellence to include such dimensions as equal pay, pay systems, communication and social dialogue, and wage increases relative to inflation, thereby qualifying for certification as Fair Wage Employers, with brands like PUMA, VFC, Lululemon and LVMH seeking to share this ambition with their strategic suppliers and subsidiaries.
As the leading certifying body for Global Living Wage & Fair Wage certifications, our 15 year-legacy proves the power of this certification to do more than strengthen corporate responsibility – it drives sustainable growth while bolstering stakeholder trust.
