柬埔寨服装厂透明度计划鼓舞ILO-BFC
Transparency at Cambodian garment units encourages ILO-BFC
“We are encouraged by the improvements that have been made by the 248 garment factories in
ILO-BFC recently released its third online Transparency Report, which covers the period from July to September 2014 and presents working conditions of 248 Cambodian garment factories.
According to the report, two of the thirteen factories included in the low compliance category made 31 verifiable improvements and, as a result, moved off the low compliance list.
Low compliance factories are those whose performance falls two standard deviations below the mean for compliance on 52 keys issues among factories with three or more BFC assessments.
One-fourth of the 95 factories added to the critical issues list made improvements on 21 basic legal requirements in anticipation of their inclusion in the report.
The total number of critical issues violations in this group of factories fell from 109 to 75 between July and September, a 30% improvement.
Thirty-eight factories or 40% of the newly added factories were already in full compliance on all 21 of the basic legal requirements included in the critical issues category.
Another 12 factories that made verifiable improvements between July and September were able to move into this group of factories for a total of 50 factories or 52% with no violations of any critical issues.
Garment factories conducting regular emergency evacuation drills rose from 57% to 76%, while factories discriminating against workers dropped from 15% to 7% and those paying proper seniority-related bonuses to workers increased from 64% to 78%.
BFC’s Chief Technical Advisor, Jill Tucker says, “We are encouraged by the improvements that have been made by these 248 factories since the Transparency program began.”
He adds, “In many cases, factories had failed to make changes over a period of years, but they are now taking action as a result of transparent reporting.
“We look forward to continuing to work with the Ministry of Commerce and Ministry of Labour on this initiative, especially to make changes in the factories in the low compliance category.”

柬埔寨服装厂透明度计划鼓舞国际劳工组织的柬埔寨更佳工厂项目
“自透明度计划开始以来，柬埔寨248家服装厂得到改善，我们受此鼓舞。”国际劳工组织的柬埔寨更佳工厂 (ILO-BFC)项目说道。
ILO-BFC最近发布了其第三份从2014年7月至9月的网络透明度报告,显示了248家柬埔寨服装厂的工作环境。
据报道,被列入低合规类别的13家工厂进行了31项可证实的改善,因此,他们被移出了低合规列表。
低合规工厂是那些表现下降两个标准差，低于52个关键问题的平均合规的工厂，并有有三个或三个以上BFC的评估。
95家工厂中的四分之一添加到关键问题列表中对包含在报告中预期的21项基本法律要求进行改善。
7月至9月期间，关键问题工厂的总数从109家下降到75家,得到了30%的改善。
38个工厂或40%的新增工厂已经完全遵守21项基本的法律要求包括在关键问题的类别。
另外12家工厂在7月和9月期间进行了可证实的改善，能够进入总共50家工厂或52%没有违反任何关键问题的群组。
服装工厂进行定期的紧急疏散演习从57%上升到76%,而工厂歧视工人从15%下降到7%,给工人支付适当的工龄奖金从64%上升到78%。
BFC的技术顾问Jill Tucker说：“自透明度计划开始以来，248家服装厂得到改善，我们受此鼓舞。”
他补充说：“在许多情况下,工厂未能在一段时间内改变,但是现在他们因为透明度报告而开始采取行动。”
“我们期待继续与商务部和劳工部在此主创上的合作,尤其是使低合规类别的工厂进行改变。”
