I feel that I am achieving within ETI and positive things are happening in my supply chain, and with the help of ETI, its resources and more importantly its people, I intend to achieve much more.

Kevin Hives, Sales Director, BBS Granite Concepts Ltd.

When ETI convenes collaboration between companies, NGOs and unions to tackle supply chain issues, it can increase our impact, especially in efforts to strengthen regulation. When civil society and companies speak with one voice we can be influential advocates for more effective legislation

Peter Williams, NGO Coordinator, ETI

2020-21 saw notable growth in the general merchandise sector of our membership with six new members.

ETI promotes respect for workers’ rights worldwide, to help facilitate supply chains that work better for everyone. By supporting our members' efforts to uphold the ETI Base Code, we influence working conditions in multiple sectors on a global scale.

What ETI has proven yet again is that multi-stakeholder initiatives can be an incredibly strong source of private governance when built on meaningful social dialogue. We are grateful for the ETI’s invaluable advocacy for seafarers’ rights during the pandemic that saw up to 500,000 mariners trapped at sea due to COVID-19-rleated travel restrictions. Indeed, ETI’s convening power also enabled the ITF to engage with a cross-section of member companies on conducting maritime-related human rights due diligence. The setting up of the Transport/Logistics Expert Support Network has also helped highlight decent work deficits in these sectors, which were previously human rights blind spots for many businesses. Most importantly, these initiatives are producing meaningful changes on the ground for workers. We hope to continue this positive engagement with ETI over the next 12 months and beyond.

Ruwan Subasinghe, Legal Director, International Transport Workers Federation
