Complaints
ETI code violation procedure

From time to time, information about alleged violations of codes of labour practice in workplaces supplying ETI corporate members is received by trade union or NGO members of ETI. This information is often supplied by trade union affiliates or NGO partners in the supplier countries and is then communicated to ETI member companies.

This complaints procedure provides a formal avenue for raising and addressing breaches of the ETI Base Code in the supply chains of ETI Member companies.

Revised: 21-02-2017
