Building on the Global Deal’s focus group on Social dialogue and living wages in 2022 and the subsequent publication of the thematic brief on the same topic, this webinar will provide an update and focus on the recent ILO Meeting of Expert’s conclusions on wage policies, including living wages. For the first time, the ILO Governing Body has endorsed a definition of living wage levels and provided principles for tripartite partners to use to determine living wages, building on relevant ILO standards, including on minimum wages. Social dialogue lies at the heart of this process.


During the webinar, an ILO expert will present main outcomes of the ILO Meeting of Experts held in February 2024 and explain the key role of social dialogue in the setting of living wages. Further, Global Deal partners will be invited to share their recent experiences on the topic, including Banana Link and its efforts to support the conclusion of a collective agreement on living wages in the Ivorian banana industry, as well as recent efforts by Michelin and L’Oréal to set living wages for their employees around the world and recent activities of ACT on Living Wages in Cambodia to support agreements between IndustriALL Global Union and individual brands on wages.
