ETI Activities

We undertake a wide range of activities to promote and improve the implementation of labour codes.

In this section...

Experimental Projects - Our experimental projects provide our corporate, trade union and NGO members the opportunity to work together to identify and promote good practice in specific aspects of code implementation, often in collaboration with their suppliers and partners. We have a number of on-going projects, each focusing on a different and often challenging area of code implementation.

Research Projects - From time to time, we commission research to identify existing knowledge about priority issues, or to generate new knowledge where there are gaps in understanding. We have just started a major piece of research looking at the impact of implementation of the ETI Base Code on workers, and how this impact can be improved.

Monitoring corporate performance - We regularly monitor the progress of our members in implementing the ETI Base Code, through a rigorous annual reporting and review process.

Building Capacity - We aim to build the capacity of relevant organisations to implement codes effectively. To date, we have supported organisations in three supplier countries to develop the skills and resources to monitor and improve labour conditions at a local level.

Training - In conjunction with our capacity building work, we are developing a training programme which focusses on improving the skills of our corporate members, their suppliers and other stakeholders in supplier countries in implementing the ETI Base Code.

Working with Others - ETI collaborative activities, including the Multistakeholders Initiatives Project ("Joint Initiative").
