The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is an alliance of companies, trade union and non-government organisations (NGOs) committed to improving working conditions in global supply chains. When they join ETI, companies commit to implementing the ETI Base Code - a code of practice based on international labour standards - in all or part of their supply chain.
But how exactly have member companies put this commitment into practice? Has their work on implementing the Code actually made any difference to workers in their supply chains? How can the impact on workers be improved? In 2003 ETI commissioned a study to answer these and other related questions. This document provides an account of the key findings and recommendations from a scoping study conducted in China, one of six case studies chosen to give an insight into key issues in different countries and sectors.
