In the past months IDH has collaborated with multiple partners on projects around living wage. We now have published a series of case studies highlighting strategy, progress, partners involved and key learnings. We want to share this information among our network and the network of our partners. We would kindly ask our partners to spread the case studies via their social media channels.
