Promoting Better Work in Global Supply Chains
|------------------------------------+-----------------------------|

| pic30435.jpg) | Better Work offers a |
| | fresh look at old |
| | problems by offering |
| | sustainable solutions to |
| | the challenges of |
| | improving labour |
| | standards in global |
| | supply chains. The |
| | programme provides hope |
| | for a more inclusive |
| | globalisation that |
| | benefits all those |
| | involved with global |
| | supply chains. |
| | |
| | The future rests with the |
| | collaboration of partners |
| | at the national level |
| | together with |
| | international buyers. |
| | Only through broad-based |
| | engagement can we find |
| | practical tools and |
| | solutions which are based |
| | on actual experience. We |
| | need to measure what we |
| | do, identify what works |
| | and what doesn?t. Through |
| | this process we will |
| | build support for change. |

Partnership for Better Work
IFC in partnership with International Labour Organization (ILO)
launched the Better Work Program in August 2006 with the goal of
improving labor standards and competitiveness in global supply
chains. The program involves the development of both global tools
and country-level projects. It offers sustainable solutions that
build cooperation between government, employer and worker
organizations, and international buyers.

About the International Labour Office (ILO)
The International Labour Office (ILO) is devoted to advancing
opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work
in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Its
main aims are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment
opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue in
handling work-related issues. In promoting social justice and
internationally recognized human and labour rights, the organization
continues to pursue its founding mission that labour peace is
essential to prosperity. Today, the ILO helps advance the creation
of decent jobs and the kinds of economic and working conditions that
