The key to success is collaboration, and the key to collaboration is a fair share. So, the key to success is a Living Wage. Many companies hesitate to take action on Living Wages, waiting for ‘perfect’ data or the right timing. Our advice is to just start. Perfect data doesn’t exist—conditions change constantly. Instead of delaying action, we at Schijvens adapt to existing systems,” says Jaap Rijnsdorp, CEO of Schijvens Corporate Fashion, a fifth-generation family business in operation since 1863.
