SAI and China National Textile & Apparel Council Sign Agreement
Sharing the objectives of improving working conditions and promoting social dialogue in workplaces of the textile and apparel sector and beyond, the organizations have identified five areas of possible cooperation. They will start their cooperative activities by jointly convening and facilitating a meeting of the Multi-stakeholder Advisory Committee in December 2011.
