ETI Chair Philip Jennings introduces ETI's Strategy 2030, setting out the organisation's roadmap for advancing human rights in global supply chains for the rest of the decade.
Sets out the specific vulnerabilities of migrant workers in supply chains, the role of labour recruitment in creating and enabling exploitation, key contexts where risk is highest, and what effective business responses look like.
Sourcing prices for basic garments have fallen 30% in real terms over two decades, and the gap between what brands pay and what responsible production costs is becoming harder to ignore. ETI's responsible purchasing lead reflects on what it would realistically take to close that gap, and what the industry needs to confront to get there.
Green and circular supply chains are central to climate action, but environmental progress doesn't automatically mean decent work for workers. Drawing on lessons from the SMEP programme, this blog explores what just transition looks like in practice, from occupational health and safety to worker voice and informal employment.
Explains the established indicators of forced labour, why many conventional identification methods are poorly suited to detecting it, and what more effective approaches look like in practice.
What forced labour and modern slavery mean in practice, why the regulatory environment is intensifying, what businesses are now expected to do – and how to build an approach that goes beyond compliance.
Sets out what a modern slavery statement needs to cover, what distinguishes a strong statement from a weak one, how to approach the statement as part of an ongoing programme rather than an annual compliance exercise, and how to use ETI’s evaluation framework to assess and improve your own statement.
Explains the key definitions, the different forms modern slavery takes, its scale globally, and what these concepts mean in practice for businesses operating or sourcing internationally.
