Objective
Better Work Vietnam offers sustainable solutions to the challenges of improving labour standards in global supply chains. It brings together government, employers, workers and international buyers to improve labour standards and competitiveness in Viet Nam's apparel industry.
Main activities

- The project updates buyers about proactive steps enterprises have taken to address key compliance issues at their facilities; and
- Better Work training resources include training for supervisors, managers and workers.
Outcomes
- The program makes practical improvements to labour standards and competitiveness through a focus on workplace cooperation, combining independent assessments of labour standards with advice and training;
- Independently verified data on labour compliance, accepted by all participating buyers, is produced and duplicative auditing reduced;
- Creating opportunities for benefit from trade agreements and investment options that reward good labour standards; and
- Increased access to buyers who are concerned about labour standards in their supply chains.
