Transparency and Accountability
Provisions that ensure transparency and accountability in the signatories' supply chains
Making relevant information easily available to all our stakeholders and the general public.
Transparency is integral to Accord programs
Transparency ensures workers, brands and other stakeholders are aware of the safety conditions at each Accord-covered factory. See how Accord provides transparency throughout our work:
A list of all factories supplying to Accord company signatories in countries that have Accord programs is published every month.
Factory inspection reports are published soon after each inspection and the latest remediation status is live updated in downloadable corrective action plans. Status of Safety Committee training at each factory is also published. Workers, worker representatives, and other stakeholders can thereby keep track of individual factories’ safety improvements.
Quarterly Aggregate Reports allow stakeholders to understand how all Accord programs are progressing and learn of any key developments in the Accord’s work.
Minutes of all Steering Committee meetings are published, allowing stakeholders to follow the latest decisions of the trade union and company representatives who govern the Accord.
Detailed annual reports allow stakeholders to see how the Accord is funded, how the budget is spent, and the key activities and results of the Accord’s work each year.
Accountability under the Accord
Accountability is an essential thread throughout Accord programs, with provisions ensuring all parties in the supply chain fulfill their responsibility to create safer workplaces in the garment and textile industry.

Accord programs enable companies to fulfil their due diligence responsibilities according to the UN Guiding Principles for Business & Human Rights: acting collectively with trade unions to identify, prevent, and mitigate health & safety risks for workers in their supply chains.
