Membership ACP: FWF growing in Belgium
From 1 May 2009, Belgian ACP has become member of Fair Wear Foundation. ACP is a screen-printing workshop which stencils design on clothing for among others events, clubs and companies.

Thus, Fair Wear Foundation keeps growing internationally, with currently more than 45 members from seven European countries.
