LABS INITIATIVE

The Life and Building Safety (LABS) Initiative is an industry-driven program where multiple brands and retailers join forces with public organizations to mitigate preventable fire, electrical, and structural safety risks in apparel, footwear, accessories, and home-textile producing countries... LABS Initiative helps organizations identify key structural, fire and electrical safety risks and provides sustainable solutions and improvements to address those risks and improve overall working conditions... We actively engage with key organizations in operational countries, including local and national government agencies, industry associations, international institutions, and CSOs to advance safety policies within the industry and embed long-term local and national ownership.
