A significant contributor tIndonesia’s large economy, the garment industry is an important employer of women in both the formal and informal sector. Conditions at factories vary considerably, and are generally much worse in medium and small enterprises, which dnot attract the kinds of scrutiny that large suppliers tinternational brands are subjected to. The garment industry in Indonesia has received a great deal of attention from international and local NGOs and trade unions, but much remains tbe done before the standards embedded in FWF Code of Labour Practice are fully met even in the more compliant segments of the sector. In legal terms, Indonesia is highly compliant with ILcore conventions and other important human and labour rights instruments including CEDAW. Like many countries in the region, however, it continues texperience serious problems in terms of implementation of its legal framework. This has led tissues with freedom of association and the right tcollective bargaining; working hours and conditions, including the right of women tbe free of sexual harassment in the workplace; occupational health and safety; and the right ta living wage.

Das Fact-Sheet fasst eine Studie zusammen, die die Arbeitsbedingungen in chinesischen Zulieferbetrieben untersucht hat, die für europäische Markenunternehmen produzieren.
Auf der Grundlage einer Befragung von Beschäftigten in drei Schuhfabriken in der chinesischen Provinz Guangdong, die vom SÜDWIND-Partner Globalization Monitor Ende 2015 durchgeführt wurde, entsteht ein alarmierendes Bild der Schuhproduktion in China, wo es nicht selten zum Einsatz von staatlicher Gewalt kommt, um Streiks für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen zu unterdrücken.

Mit dem neuen Produkttest untersuchte die Umweltschutzorganisation Greenpeace Outdoor-Ausrüstung auf schädliche per- und polyfluorierte Chemikalien (PFC). PFC werden in vielen industriellen Verfahren und Konsumgütern eingesetzt. Die Outdoor-Industrie verwendet sie bei der Herstellung wasserdichter Membranen und wasser- sowie schmutzabweisender Beschichtung. Darunter auch umwelt- und gesundheitsschädliche Substanzen, die sich global ausbreiten und in der Leber von Eisbären genauso zu finden sind wie in Muttermilch und menschlichem Blut. Greenpeace untersuchte neben Outdoor-Bekleidung und –Schuhen erstmalig Camping- und Wanderausrüstung wie Rucksäcke, Zelte und Schlafsäcke. Von 40 getesteten Produkten enthielten lediglich vier keine PFC.
