2. Workers well being
In 2011, Levi Strauss & Co. began piloting its commitment to create a more sustainable supply chain called the Worker Well-being
initiative. Through this new approach, the company partners with its suppliers and local organizations to implement programs
focused on financial empowerment, health and family well-being, and equality.

3. Too often, typical supply chain compliance programs fall short of ensuring
that worksite-based improvements have meaningful impacts on worker
livelihoods beyond the workplace.
However, Levi Strauss is a company dedicated to change this by focusing on empowering
workers financial, health, and family well-being.
And that’s the premise of the Workers Well Being initiative launched by the company in 2011.

4. Levi’s intent for the Worker Well-being initiative is to continue to serve as a
catalyst to transform the apparel industry by setting a new standard for valuing
and investing in apparel workers’ lives.
The company takes a unique approach to addressing their employees’ needs. Instead of forcing
new initiatives on employees, Levi’s regularly surveys their workers to discover what they need
to become more engaged, healthy, and productive.
And based on the feedback, they partner with various NGO’s and non-profit organizations to
implement programs that deliver on the workers’ needs.
