New trade regime in textiles and clothing - How Cambodian factories improved their image

The Walt Disney Company banned manufacturers from making its branded clothing in Cambodia after textile companies were accused of violating international labour standards. But Disney has now allowed production with a limited number of factories due to the ILO's Better Factories Cambodia project...Next year, the project will receive its first financial support from big western companies, including Gap Inc., Nike Inc., Reebok International Ltd., Adidas Group, Levi Strauss & Co., Sears Holdings Corp., Wal-Mart Stores Inc., Hennes and Mauritz (H & M), the Children's Place Retail Stores Inc. and The Walt Disney Company.
