UNISON has worked with Labour Behind the Label to help activists planning Pride events source merchandise from suppliers that align with their values.
Our helpful guide gives a brief background on worker and LGBT+ protection in global supply chains, and questions whether brands releasing Pride collections show true solidarity or just want to capture the so-called ‘pink pound’.
It includes a useful checklist for anyone sourcing merchandise – from Pride committees planning local celebrations, to employers procuring rainbow lanyards – and will help us use our purchasing power to make change.
