Abstract
The latest results of public reporting point out that since the start of the initiative, the percentage of low compliant factories has dropped from 10% at the start of public reporting to a little bit over 4% of all factories included in the database. In addition, the percentage of factories complying with all 21 critical issues has increased from 28% before public reporting to 47% after public reporting, among the factories covered in the database in the past year. Although there are some individual critical issues that have not improved, overall it can be concluded that the public reporting initiative is driving change at the factory level.
