This is based on over 10 years' experience of working with companies, trade unions and NGOs to identify and develop best practice, and to distil those lessons into practical guidance.
2. Grounded in the real world. We work with practitioners from companies, trade unions, community and voluntary organisations to help them put ethical trade into practice. Which means we know what things are like in the real world, and can use our knowledge of what works and what doesn't to help you make real change on the ground.

We are constantly improving and updating our courses to include learning from our research and project work with members, which means that you have access to all the latest thinking and best practice in ethical trade. As well as being on top of current issues, we have an eye to the future so we can help you prepare and deal with new and emerging issues as they arise.
4. Practical and relevant to your work. Our training courses provide you with knowledge and skills that are relevant to your role, and that you can put into practice in your workplace. We use practical examples and case studies to bring issues to life, and to show you how others have dealt with issues that you encounter.
