An app for those who like fashion - but want to consciously consume
This app is for those who love to walk well dressed, but they don't want someone to be explored to sew their pants or skirt. After all, who has never heard of a case of slave labor involving suppliers of famous brands?
The proposal is to bring to the public, agile and accessible, the measures that the brands - the main clothing retailers in the country and companies that have already been caught by the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE) inspectors - have been taking to prevent the pieces sold in their stores from being produced by slave labor.
All companies were invited to answer a questionnaire and, based on the answers, received a score that classifies them into three color categories - green, yellow and red - according to their conduct. Those who did not respond were automatically included in the Red Category.
The evaluation criterion considers four indicators:
1. POLICIES: Commitments made by companies to combat slave labor in their chain of supply.
2. Monitoring: Measures adopted to oversee clothing suppliers.
3. Transparency: actions taken to communicate to customers what has been done to monitor suppliers and combat slave labor.
4. History: Summary of the involvement of companies in cases of slave labor, according to the Ministry of Labor and Employment (MTE).
The app does not recommend that the consumer buy or stop buying clothes of a particular brand. It only brings information to make the choice consciously. This is a free service to the consumer, the result of the calculation of Repórter Brasil's journalism team.
