A factory successfully graduates from the LABS program once it is aligned to all safety guidelines and checklist as per the LABS Standards. LABS Factory Coordinators monitor factory’s progress on fulfilling the criteria for graduation.
At LABS, we recognize the need to catalyze progress through issue-focused strategic initiatives. We integrate gender equality and related issues into all our work, and are working towards promoting dialogues and joint action towards gender empowerment in the apparel and footwear sector.
In 2022, we launched Platform for Gender Equality in Apparel & Footwear in Cambodia, that provides an opportunity for like-minded partners to discuss and address key issues related to gender in the apparel, footwear, and garment sectors in Cambodia, such as pay gaps, leadership opportunities for women in the sector, and working conditions.
