This eti-ten website is one of several initiatives to mark ETI's tenth anniversary year.
On 23 October we held a major conference to debate the future of ethical trade. In a few weeks’ time we will produce a report of the conference and a short film depicting the highlights of the day. We have also put together a six-minute film about ETI’s first ten years.
We are also encouraging consumers to ask probing questions of retailers and 'be an ethical pest'. This new initiative is spearheaded by Tara Scott and Stacey Dooley from the BBC series Blood, Sweat and T-shirts.
For companies, we have recently launched two films called Ethical trade: the business case, designed to help corporate ethical trade managers increase awareness and support for labour codes within their own companies, and in their supply chains.
We have updated and improved our training courses, which are aimed at building essential skills and knowledge in ethical trade within companies, trade unions and NGOs.
The ETI workbook - a practical manual for companies - is already available.
The Ethical Trading Initiative (www.ethicaltrade.org) is a ground-breaking alliance of companies, trade unions, charities and campaigning organisations that work together to improve working conditions in global supply chains. Since our inception in 1998, we have disseminated a raft of best practice tools and guidance on ethical trade, galvanised industry-wide alliances that have brought about widespread change for workers, and have demonstrated that our members' activities are bringing material benefits to the workers in their supply chains. Last year, member companies reported over 50,000 separate improvements to workers' conditions, collectively touching the lives of over 6 million workers.
