Julia Hawkins

Position
Media relations and communications manager, ETI (prior to leaving ETI, Feb 2012)

Julia works on raising awareness about ethical trade and developing to tools to communicate about ethical trade to retailers, suppliers and consumers.

"I do the easy bit", she says. "Getting the message across about how important ethical trade is may be challenging sometimes, but I don't have to make tough decisions on how to respond if I find my company has been sourcing from a factory using child labour, or on how to balance ethical and commercial demands in today's recession-struck times."
