First movers among business, trade unions and researchers are identifying, testing and scaling-up practical actions that help keep workers safe as temperatures rise. At this year’s Africa Business and Human Rights Forum in Dakar, ETI convened a panel to share what's working.
Series of blogs exploring the growing risks to workers in supply chains through extreme heat - covering saliency, purchasing practices, involving workers in the response, low cost interventions and more.
Extreme heat is no longer a distant risk, it's a daily reality for garment workers and suppliers. As new NYU Stern research shows, purchasing practices must evolve to meet it.
As record-breaking heat pushes the planet toward the 1.5°C limit, this blog reveals how extreme temperatures are already affecting millions of workers and why businesses can’t afford to ignore the risk. Discover how one factory’s simple, low-cost changes cut heat stress and boosted productivity, proving that protecting workers isn’t just urgen, it’s smart.
