Organization Description:

The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is a UK-based alliance of companies, trade unions, and NGOs working together to advance human rights in global supply chains. ETI provides guidance, training, and platforms for members to tackle systemic labor issues across sectors, including food, apparel, and construction. ETI members commit to implementing the ETI Base Code, based on ILO conventions, and participate in collaborative workstreams on issues such as purchasing practices, migrant workers, gender, and freedom of association.

Role in Indian Shrimp Aquaculture: ETI has identified seafood, and shrimp in particular, as uniquely high-risk for labor-rights abuses, and has published guidance on purchasing practices and human rights in shrimp supply chains.
