Welcome to the Annual Report 2024 for the Life and Building Safety Initiative!
As we reflect on 2024, the Life and Building Safety (LABS) Initiative continues to make meaningful strides toward creating safer, more resilient workplaces across the apparel, footwear, and accessories sector. Building on the momentum of previous years, this annual report captures our progress, learnings, and partnerships that have shaped our journey over the past year.
This report offers a comprehensive overview of program execution across our focus countries – India, Vietnam, Cambodia, and Indonesia – highlighting the scale of engagement, remediation achievements, and the critical collaborations that have enabled us to reach over a million workers. From factory-level improvements to sector-wide knowledge sharing, our work this year reflects a deepening commitment to fostering a culture of prevention and safety in the sector.
We thank our brand partners, associated firms, factories and industry stakeholders who have contributed to the LABS mission.
We invite you to explore this year’s report and learn more about the impact we’ve created –through partnerships, operational excellence and a shared vision for safer workplaces.
