About the certification
Ethical trade means that retailers, brands and suppliers take responsibility for improving the working conditions of people who make the products they sell. The ETI’s standards are divided into two parts: the ETI Base Code and the Principles of Implementation. The ETI Base Code focuses on labour practices, reflecting the most relevant international standards. The Principles of Implementation define the commitments, management practices and behaviours required of corporate members to implement the ETI Base Code in their supply chains.
