Question to the Department for International Development:
To ask the Secretary of State for International Development, what progress has been made on encouraging companies to sign up to the Ethical Trading Initiative.
The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is a unique alliance of companies, trade unions and non-government organisations. DFID supports the Ethical Trading Initiative in their work to improve the lives of workers around the world. Company sign-up to ETI has nearly doubled in the last 5 years from 45 members to 87 members.
