Fair Wear Standard's (FWF) Brand Performance Check is a tool to evaluate and report on the activities of FWF’s member companies. The checks examine and publicly report on how the management practices of member companies support the FWF Code of Labor Practices (CoLP) at apparel factories engaged in activities that take place after the production of fabric. Most brands source clothing from many factories which they do not own. At the same time, most factories supply many different brands. This means that in most cases FWF member companies have influence, but no direct control over working conditions. As a result, the Brand Performance Checks focus primarily on verifying the efforts of member companies. Outcomes at the factory level are assessed via audits and complaint reports; however the complexity of the supply chains means that even the best efforts of FWF member companies cannot guarantee results.
