ILO, Unilever, and Responsible Business Alliance Partner on Living Wage Standards
What happened
The International Labour Organization, the Responsible Business Alliance, and Unilever partnered to establish living wage initiatives. This marked the first of three public-private partnership agreements under the ILO's Living Wage Programme since its launch in April 2025. The agreements translate the 2024 tripartite agreement on wage policies into concrete action to support ILO constituents.

Why it matters
The partnership aims to ensure that workers earn wages providing a decent standard of living for themselves and their families. This initiative aligns with the Minimum Wage Fixing Convention, 1970 (No. 131). The collaboration highlights that many voluntary living wage initiatives do not yet incorporate ILO principles for estimation and operationalization.
