The Clean Clothes Campaign Austria is part of the international Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC). It stands for fair means of production in the garment and sportswear industry. Since the year 1989 CCC has tried to improve working conditions in those industries globally.
The CCC is represented in 16 European countries and globally works together with a network of over 230 partner institutions and trade unions in the production countries. In addition the CCC cooperates with similar organisations in the USA, Canada and Australia.
Part of the CCC are trade unions as well as NGOs. Their collective goal is to improve workers rights in the global garment industry. They educate and mobilise consumers, lobby companies and governments, and offer direct solidarity support to workers as they fight for their rights and demand better working conditions.
