How does ETI hold its members accountable? 

We support individual member companies to develop their approach to human rights due diligence (HRDD) across their supply chains.   

Using the ETI Member Charter and ETI Progression Framework, which takes account of governance and policy as well as the practical tools for working with suppliers, we support member companies to apply the UNGPs. This framework enables ETI to help businesses implement the ETI Base Code and meet the growing need to demonstrate and report on their human rights due diligence (HRDD) through legislative requirements and through ETIs Corporate Transparency Framework. 

ETI publicly shares how our company members are performing against the Corporate Transparency Framework (CTF).
