The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is an alliance of companies,
non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and trade union organisations promoting
ethical consumerism.In the late 1990s, companies selling food and clothing to UK consumers were coming under increasing pressure – from trade unions, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and consumers – to ensure decent working conditions for the people who produce the goods they sell. Such companies typically responded by adopting a code of practice setting out minimum labour standards that they expect their suppliers to comply with.
