Clean Clothes Campaign update: Belgian retailer commits to joining Fair Wear Foundation

Bel & Bo received yesterday a collection of "clean" T-shirts from World Solidarity and LBC, to round off the campaign "We want clean clothes", in which 13 278 consumers demand 'clean clothes' from Belgian clothing companies and retailers.
The management of Bel & Bo (a family run retailer with over 80 sales points in Belgium) reacted with excellent news: the company will become, if all goes well, a member of the Fair Wear Foundation on November 1st! This is the corner stone of our campaign, so an outstanding announcement, which made us (and the sales people) very happy!


Which retailers will follow this good example? JBC may also soon expect a visit. We'll keep you posted!
