It was a close call, but in the end, enough countries ratified the Hong Kong Convention for the Safe and Environmentally Sound Recycling of Ships. One of the most dangerous industries in the world—shipbreaking—will now become safer and more environmentally friendly. For over fifteen years, Mondiaal FNV has fought for the convention and for better working conditions for shipbreakers. What did Mondiaal FNV and its partners do to achieve this success? You can read all about it in this annual report.
In our annual report we look back at how Mondiaal FNV and its partners have worked to improve the working conditions of millions of people in Africa, Asia, Latin America and MENA region. In 'Annual Stories' you will find a compilation of stories from our partners; about improving the work and lives of workers. We also present our financial report.
Mondiaal FNV supports workers worldwide in their fight for decent work. Everyone has the right to fair working conditions, a living wage, social protection, and collective bargaining, but in many countries these barely exist, if at all. That is why we strive for a world in which strong unions are enabled to ensure decent work for all.
Short introductionThe year 2024 highlighted several strong examples of cooperation with our partners at many levels. In addition to strengthening trade unions within their companies and sectors, in cooperation with our partners, we raised our policy influence to a higher level by conducting more research and expanding our knowledge and lobbying capacity.

A great example of this is the Hong Kong Convention for ship recycling: together with our partners, we worked on improvements at the worksite all the way through to the ratification by the 15 most important countries.” Karen Brouwer, Executive Director.
