ETI Consulting (Ethical Trade Initiative)

A globally recognized standard that promotes ethical sourcing and manufacturing practices. Founded in 1998, ETI is an alliance of companies, trade unions, and voluntary organizations working together to improve workers’ lives across the globe.

Build Responsible and Sustainable Supply Chains

Global brands and retailers today are demanding more than compliance. They want proof that your supply chain is ethical, transparent, and responsible. 

  • Are your operations aligned with international labor and ethical standards? 
  • Can you demonstrate responsible sourcing practices to your buyers and partners? 
  • Do you have systems to manage labor rights, health & safety, and ethical conduct across your supply chain? 

If the answer is no, your business may face contract risks, reputational issues, and missed growth opportunities. 

The Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) provides a globally recognized framework to help businesses embed ethical practices across their supply chain.

What Is ETI?

The Ethical Trade Initiative (ETI) is a global alliance of companies, trade unions, and NGOs committed to improving working conditions and promoting labor rights across global supply chains. 

Key Focus Areas of ETI: 

  1. Labor Standards – Fair wages, safe working hours, freedom of association, no child or forced labor. 
  1. Health & Safety – Safe workplaces, risk mitigation, emergency preparedness, and compliance with local safety laws. 
  1. Environmental Responsibility – Sustainable operations, waste management, pollution control, and resource efficiency. 
  1. Ethics & Governance – Anti-corruption, transparency, fair trade, and accountability across operations and suppliers. 

ETI is widely demanded by textiles, apparel, FMCG, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, packaging, and engineering companies supplying to global retailers. 

Why ETI Compliance Matters

Without ETI alignment: 

  • You risk losing contracts with multinational brands. 
  • Buyers may prefer ETI-compliant suppliers in other countries. 
  • Your reputation and credibility may be questioned internationally. 
  • Non-compliance can lead to audit failures, penalties, or disruptions in supply chains. 

With ETI compliance: 
You gain buyer trust and credibility in global markets. 
You demonstrate a commitment to ethical, fair, and safe working conditions. 
You reduce business risks related to labor violations or ethical concerns. 
You strengthen brand reputation and long-term partnerships. 
You open doors to premium contracts and international business opportunities.
