Our Family-Friendly Spaces program provides secure and well-equipped spaces, at factories and in communities, for children to learn and play while their parents work. The program promotes child-friendly employment practices, supports the United Nations SDGs: 3, 4, 5, 10 & 17 and allows parents to work free from the expense and burden of childcare.
The Family-Friendly Spaces program not only benefits workers and their families, but is proven to produce measurable business benefits for factories including improved worker retention rates, reduced training costs and becoming the employer of choice in their communities.
Our program focuses on social sustainability issues which impact well-being of workers involved in goods & products manufactured globally. Our requirements incorporate best practice and are reviewed on an ongoing basis to reflect the needs of all stakeholders in the supply chain.
We are a member of the United Nations Global Compact, see here how our program promotes the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
