Media centre

The human and environmental footprint of business has never been higher on the public agenda. There is increasing concern for how the things we buy and consume impact people and planet. We see this trend reflected in the news cycle, rising social movements and in the growing body of legislation mandating human rights and environmental due diligence worldwide.

 ETI has worked at the centre of these issues for 25 years. We bring companies, trade unions and non-governmental organisations together to address human rights impacts across global supply chains. So, if it’s impacting human rights in supply chains, we probably know about it - or know someone who does.

 We can help you shed light on the reality of human rights risks in supply chains and the steps companies should be taking to address them. We can also help unpack the complex issues workers face and the ways trade unions, NGOs and companies can collaborate to tackle them.
