Organizational Background:
Label STEP established its presence in Nepal in 1997. The non-profit organization monitors and validates fair trade standards across the complete supply chain of handmade carpets produced by STEP Fair Trade Partners (licensees/importers). Health and safety at the workplace, minimum wage requirements, labour rights, environmentally sound production, and the prohibition of child labor are among the STEP’s Fair-Trade Standards. The compliance criteria are systematically audited and wherever non-compliance is detected, corrective actions are taken. Label STEP Nepal also conducts the 'Weavers Community Empowerment Program,' which aims to build the capacity of weavers via education and training, including financial literacy.
Label STEP uses an interactive web-based database named ‘STEP Web’, streamlining the verification process, enabling the sharing of audit reports throughout the international supply chains, organizing the implementation of corrective actions and providing data and insight for quantitative evaluation and statistical reports.
Since November 2019, Label STEP has been executing the "Artisans Villages Revitalizing Nepal's Carpet Industry" in the Sarlahi area of Province-2, in conjunction with the UKAID Skills for Employment Program. The project aims to replicate Kathmandu's success model, which has seen an unprecedented rise in the carpet industry for over six decades, while also creating jobs and improving the livelihoods of the marginalized community, as well as overcoming the hand- knotted carpet industry's crippling labor shortages. To keep track of the weavers’ development as well as the production management, Label STEP has developed a Weavers Management app and Weaver Database as a part of the project.
The IT tools are not only used in Nepal but also in the other Label STEP Country Programs in India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Turkey and Morocco as well as by the STEP Head Office in Switzerland and the STEP affiliated industry and trade stakeholders in the European and North American markets. STEP plans to set up a Data Competence Center in Kathmandu to coordinate and consolidate all the data collection enabled through STEP Web and Weaver Management app in the different country offices.
