## Pillar 1 - Ensure Fairness in Wages

Implementing fair wages not only addresses poverty and inequality, but also fosters economic dynamism. Conversely, low wages undermine consumption, weaken the social contract and diminish workforce productivity. Prioritizing fair pay not only supports employees, creating a more stable and motivated workforce, but also strengthens the overall economic landscape.


### Aspired MilestoneSecure at least a living wage for both the internal workforce and workers across the supply chain


**Only 4%** of top 1000 companies pay living wages or have targets on it

**55-78%** customers willing to pay more for companies with social impact

**75%** of companies paying living wages reported high motivation

**$22 billion** Actual GDP growth during wage increase period (+85k jobs)
