[Business & Human Rights Resource Centre invited companies criticised in the report to respond. Farida, Lotto Sports, Marks & Spencer, Schoenenreus and Wolky responses provided. We will indicate whether Birkenstock and UGG-Deckers respond here.] More than half of the shoe companies have taken significant steps to fight child labour, but there are laggards. This is the conclusion of the Stop Child Labour (SCL) report ‘Working on the Right Shoes' which examined 28 Dutch and international footwear companies. The enclosed scorecard explains why Gabor, Lotto Sports, Marks & Spencer, Schoenenreus and Wolky score poorly...SCL...approached companies asking them about their policy and practices to combat child labour and labour rights abuses in their full supply chain. They also assessed transparency towards consumers and SCL’s researchers...17 companies out of a total of 28 received a total score ‘good’...Among others, Bata, bugatti shoes, Camper, Clarks and Geox have taken important steps and improved their performance from a 'moderate' to a 'good' score...Well-scoring companies took measures to investigate the risks in their supply chain and/or to improve their code of conduct and monitoring systems, especially for subcontractors...Despite the fact that many of the mentioned companies still have a long way to go, SCL is positive about the progress and concrete promises made by these companies regarding further improvement in the coming year.
