The Platform for Living Wages Financials' (PLWF) members recognise the systemic issue of underpayment in supply chains. And we know that being able to earn a living wage is instrumental for a broader range of human and labour issues. For instance, living wages can lift workers out of poverty and promote decent standards of living, while mitigating the risk of excessive overtime and child labour and reducing inequalities. A living wage can therefore act as a catalyst to achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, in particular, Goal 1: no poverty, and Goal 8: decent work and economic growth.
