BBS Granite Concepts Ltd has always worked closely with The Ethical Trading Initiative, and continues to do so, ensuring our supply chains use the ETI Base Code as a minimum standard.
One particular topic that BBS has been working on is Elected Representation and Freedom of Association (FOA). In China, membership of a union is allowed, although the vast majority of workers are affiliated to the All China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU). BBS has been working on a more local level, trying to create smaller and highly focused groups who can work together to make a difference to an individual and their workplace.
ETI's blog covers issues at the intersection of business and human rights. We feature posts by, for and from our members and allies; we do not accept or offer payment for posts or publish content outside of these criteria. We welcome a range of insights and opinions from our guest bloggers, though don't necessarily agree with everything they say.
