Peter McAllister to present ETI Base Code guidance on caste discrimination in Copenhagen

  • Lindsay Wright
  • 30 October 2019

The Danish Ethical Trading Initiative (DIEH) is hosting an international seminar on the challenges faced by marginalised groups, working under some of the most difficult conditions in global supply chains, discussing how addressing discrimination and injustice directly with suppliers can mitigate the risks of slavery and child labour in supply chains and ensure inclusive workplaces.

The seminar is from 1-4 pm on the 12 November in Copenhagen, Denmark, and is organised by DIEH together with IDSN and Ethical Trading Initiative UK. Follow this link to sign up - clicking on "Tilmeld" at the bottom to the page.

Speakers at the event include Peter McAllister, Director of the Ethical Trading Initiative (UK), presenting ETI’s newly released Base Code guidance on “Caste in Global Supply Chains” and Peter Lund-Thomsen, Professor at Copenhagen Business School, who will speak about vulnerable workers in the informal sector in leather and cotton production.

Other speakers will include representatives from NGOs, trade union specialists and corporate sector actors.
