Since COVID-19, brands have been using their disproportionate power over suppliers to cancel orders, grossly extend payment terms or pay substantially less than initially agreed. In Bangladesh, this has had a devastating impact on suppliers and their workers, who now face unemployment, starvation and risk of infection.

About

TEEK TAKA is an ethical finance platform working to improve labour conditions in global supply chains. We help suppliers in developing markets access working capital in return for participating in a more transparent and responsible system. This enables suppliers to pay their worker’s wages, maintain health and safety standards, and reduce the risks of COVID-19 to ongoing business operations.

Textile Tracker

Since COVID-19, fashion brands have cancelled $3.5 billion worth of orders in Bangladesh, approximately 982 million pieces of quality clothing items, much of which had already been produced. Our Textile Tracker maps cancelled orders and connects factories to potential buyers, who can purchase, adapt, or recycle these items and prevent them going to landfill.
