  • 9 November 2018

Nearly 200 delegates gathered at the Kia Oval in London last week to hear from over 60 speakers and reflect on the latest trends and challenges in ethical trade and workers’ rights around the world.

Held in partnership with Elevate and marking 20 years of ETI, the conference featured speakers from across the business world - including C&A, H&M, Inditex, Nestle, Pentland, Sainsbury’s and Tesco - as well as speakers from the trade union movement, NGOs and other organisations working to improve conditions for workers worldwide, including Care International, Fairtrade, the GLAA, Oxfam, the ILO, the International Commission of Jurists (ICJ), the ITUC, the OECD, OSCE, the TUC, and Unite.

You can view highlights from the two days here, including tweets from sessions and speeches, photos and videos.

ETI has also released a short publication to coincide with the conference: Ethical trade: Global trends and insights.
