What about medium or small sized companies with limited resources? They surely cannot be held responsible for working conditions in their supply chain to the same extent as powerful trans national companies? It is obvious that all companies have a responsibility. If companies -- large and small --are able to commit important resources to e.g. the quality control of their products, they should be able to commit sufficient resources to ensuring that workers enjoy human and labour rights and decent working conditions. To take up their responsibility, small or medium-sized companies need not necessarily work individually. They can collaborate and e.g. join a project via their respective federations and so exchange information on systems, methods and procedures and share the cost of monitoring and verifying conditions in their supply chains. In the Netherlands for example the small and medium-sized clothing retailers and producers participate in the Fair Wear Foundation through their federations MITEX and MODINT.
