Ethical trade tends to be associated with activities undertaken by multinational companies to address and improve working conditions in what are often vast and complex supply chains. Although small and medium-sized sourcing companies may not have the resources and leverage of large multinationals, we believe they still bear a responsibility towards the workers involved in making their products, and can and should seek to source ethically. And the fact that smaller companies often have far fewer suppliers and closer relationships with them than large companies may actually make it easier for them to get their suppliers to improve.
