Deep Dive Series: Living Wage | Getting Started: The Case for Action on Living Wage (in English)

Online
A living wage is an essential component of decent work and a cornerstone of sustainable development, contributing directly
to several of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It is an integral part of a people-centered sustainability approach.
Yet, over a billion working people worldwide – roughly a third of all workers – are estimated to earn less than they need to
afford a decent standard of living.

With this in mind and against the backdrop of the inclusion of a living wage in the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), as well as a new tripartite agreement by the International Labour Organization, companies are increasingly taking action to ensure a living wage.

Over the course of three Deep Dive Sessions, the Living Wage Series offers companies and non-business stakeholders an introduction to key components of a living wage.

SESSION 1

This session will explain central elements of the wage setting process and how by committing to achieving living wages in their value chain, companies can reinforce and catalyse a much wider range of sustainable development and human rights commitments. Through this webinar, participants will gain a better understanding of recent regulatory developments, the role of estimates and social dialogue as well as practical steps to get companies started on their living wage journey.
