Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what steps the Government is taking to encourage businesses to comply with the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code.
This question was answered on 6th March 2018
Promoting jobs where workers’ rights are upheld, living wages are paid, and they are free from exploitation, is fundamental for alleviating poverty. The Ethical Trading Initiative’s Base Code is an important standard for companies to aim for, which is why DFID has provided ETI with a £5.1M grant and is encouraging its suppliers to sign up to it.
