The People Who Make Our -- Your -- Clothes
What’s good for people can be good for business. That’s our approach.Think about it. If apparel workers are healthy and take pride in their work, that’s good for them, their families, and their community . . . and, chances are they’ll do a good job.

Celebrating Courage
“I was dead when I got to WORLD, but it has saved my life,” one woman living with HIV/AIDS said.She’s part of WORLD, short for Women Organized to Respond to Life-threatening Disease, an organization that has supported women living with HIV/AIDS in Northern California for the past 20 years.Organizations like WORLD link women to health and social services that help them cope with the stigma and discrimination associated with the disease, which can have as many harmful consequences as the virus itself.

Wear the Pants. Again. And Again.
This Thursday is World Water Day. And we’re trying something interesting in our offices and stores around the world.Starting today, for five days, employees and store associates will be asked – not required – to wear the same pair of jeans or khakis every day.In the picture above, that’s a sponge, securely attached to someone’s jeans. If they wash them, the sponge expands – and everyone will know!

The Power of Women – Today and Tomorrow
When it comes to women, ours is an interesting industry. While women may dominate the number of apparel industry workers around the world, they don’t always have the power and respect that should come with such numbers.Levi Strauss & Co. has long worked to ensure the rights of workers. In 1991, we were the first multinational apparel company to establish a comprehensive workplace code of conduct for our manufacturing suppliers.
