What is ETI's Corporate Transparency Framework?

ETI’s Corporate Transparency Framework (CTF) helps businesses report on their human rights impacts and actions.  

It details the public reporting requirements set out for all ETI company members. Our company members commit to meeting these requirements. In the framework we set out 7 minimum requirements expected of members in relation to public reporting, along with further ‘Good practice’ and ‘Better practice’ requirements.  

The Corporate Transparency Framework helps companies to prepare for upcoming legislation, supports them to improve their public reporting year on year, and ultimately raises the bar in transparency.  

Learn about the transparency framework

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