Description | The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) has developed a code of labour practice - the 'Base Code' - reflecting the most relevant international standards with respect to labour practices which will be used as the basis of its work. ETI member companies are expected to adopt the Base Code, or to adopt their own code so long as it incorporates the Base Code. The Base Code which is accompanied by a set of general principles concerning implementation provides a foundation for the ETI's philosophy of learning. Member companies must require that suppliers meet agreed standards within a reasonable timeframe, and that performance in this regard is measured, transparent and, ultimately, a precondition to further business. |
