Outdoor - Environment - Working Conditions
Although we all believe that when we shop for a 300 Euro Northface jacket or new ski trousers for another 200 Euros we are not buying only environmental friendly produced clothes but also clothes that have been produced in a "healthy" way in third world countries. However, as the NGO Christian Initiative Romero (CIR) found out this is not the case. Many companies do not pay their employees accordingly. As such, it so happens that the employment cost make up less than 0,5%.
