Organizational Background:
Label STEP established its presence in Nepal in 1997. The organization monitors and validates fair trade standards across the complete line of handmade carpets produced by STEP Fair Trade Partners (licensees/importers). Good working and living conditions, fair salaries, collective bargaining, environmentally responsible production, and the prohibition of child labor are among the 10 STEP Standards. Wherever non-compliance is detected, these compliance criteria are systematically audited, and corrective steps are expected to be taken. Label STEP Nepal also conducts the 'Weavers Community Empowerment Program,' which aims to build the capability of weavers via education and training, including financial literacy.
Label STEP uses an interactive web-based database named ‘STEP Web’ to simplify the verification process, to ensure that the swift sharing of the compliance reports with the stakeholders and to ensure adoption of the corrective actions.
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.
