Whether its international issues causing conflict on site or a blind eye turned to questionable conditions, the story usually ends with employees taking an L and the finger pointed at those in power.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Today is different. Following their 2014 sustainability report, <a title=\"Supply Management\" href=\"http:\/\/www.supplymanagement.com\/news\/2015\/adidas-terminates-deals-with-13-suppliers-in-asia-over-non-compliance\" target=\"_blank\">Supply Management<\/a> reported that <strong>adidas<\/strong> shut down 13 suppliers in Asia in an effort that should improve worker&#8217;s conditions. In total, this caused a shutdown of 104 factories which accounts for about a 10% rejection rate based on their factory screening policy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">\u201cThe remediation of factory issues is beneficial for workers; it raises the bar in terms of better and more timely pay, improved benefits, reduced hours and the legal protection of formal employment contracts, as well as significant improvements in basic health and safety within the workplace,\u201d adidas stated in the report.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">On top of that, adidas has expanded its workers&#8217; grievance hotline in both Vietnam and Indonesia. The brand also issued 65 warning letters regarding complaints of management, payment, and working conditions, distributed to suppliers in 13 different countries.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">While details regarding how working conditions have improved at such suppliers are mostly unknown, it is nice to see what looks like a positive move to address what&#8217;s been a longtime problem. Salute, adidas.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>words \/\/ Ian Stonebrook: More often than not, stories involving sportswear giants and overseas suppliers are not good.
