- title:
- Strengthening the governance of the monitoring of brands’ performance to source more sustainably
(Responsibility: BWG, ILO, brands; Timing: mid-term)
BW should explore different governance options for the monitoring of brands’ performance towards more sustainable sourcing practices (e.g. shortening the supply chain, building longer term relationships with suppliers, and addressing due diligence problems due to ‘price squeeze’ and ‘time squeeze’). The current buyer partnership review system is functioning well for commitments related to compliance monitoring, but is possibly not the best structure for the sensitive sourcing practices, which might touch upon higher commercial interests (and could test the relationships with BW). In addition, an argument can be made that, from a sustainability perspective, governance systems need to be designed which are not only linked with a specific programme (BW), but rather with the underlying institutions and/or other stakeholders. Alternative governance options could be organized through the engagement of an ILO expert panel, a mixed ILO-WBG panel, or linking it with the review mechanisms of Global Framework Agreements (which are also organized at brand level).
