Organisation
Ethical Trading Initiative, UK (ETI)
Initiative involving major companies, aid agencies and campaigning organisations, trades unions and the UK government. It plans to transform the dream of ethical trade into reality.
Aims to develop and encourage the use of a widely endorsed set of standards, embodied in codes of conduct, and monitoring and auditing methods which will enable companies to work together with other organisations outside the corporate sector to improve labour conditions around the world. Many companies are already working to improve their own sourcing policies, but by developing a shared approach, the ETI will make a major contribution to the development of standards and methods which can be used by any company, large or small.
