ETI position statement on living wages

Payment of living wages is central to ETI’s Base Code of labour practice; the living wage movement is also fast gaining traction and momentum. Our position statement reflects on what needs to be done, if we are to see meaningful progress in raising wage levels for workers in global supply chains.
