Final Text 19 February 2009 ETI Principles of Implementation Preamble The purpose of the ETI is to promote improved conditions for workers through the implementation of codes of labour practice based on national law and international labour standards. By becoming a member of ETI, a company commits itself to adopt and implement the ETI Base Code and to undertake activities intended to promote respect for workers’ rights and to achieve real improvements in working conditions within their supply chain. Member companies should give special attention to the rights of workers most vulnerable to abusive labour practices, notably women, homeworkers, agency workers, temporary workers, migrant workers and smallholders. These Principles set out the approaches to ethical trade expected of ETI members. It is recognised that members will apply these principles in different ways according to their circumstances, but all members are expected to work towards their full implementation and to report on how they are applying the Principles each year. Expectations of achievement will be based on a performance framework agreed by members. The Principles 1. Commitment to ethical trading 1.1 Ethical trading, including the adoption of the Base Code and these Principles, is recognised at the highest level as a company objective and the implementation of this policy is assigned to a senior manager. 1.2 Commitment to ethical trading is communicated publicly, throughout the company, to its suppliers and to the people who work in its supply chain. 1.3 The company makes available sufficient resources to ensure that its commitments are fulfilled and that there is continuous improvement in the application of these principles. 1.4
