SPECIALISTS IN ETHICAL TRADING
Social Responsibility/Ethical Trading is now an important aspect of business strategy for many companies. This is a global issue with a growing tendency for the major retailers to examine the supply chain to ensure that acceptable ethical standards are being applied. In the United Kingdom these standards are being assessed by means of an evaluation against the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code. This is usually conducted by a third party.
In the United Kingdom there is particular concern about the working conditions of temporary labour, especially in the light of recent incidents such as the Morecambe Bay tragedy, involving the use of Gangmasters.
Verner Wheelock Associates facilitates companies in meeting the Ethical Trading Requirements demanded by the multiple retailers.
We Provide:-
- Independent third party Evaluations against the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) Base Code.
- For companies that use casual labour, a separate independent evaluation of the gangmaster/labour provider against the Code of Practice for Labour Providers.
- We Provide Full Evaluations and Audits for companies wishing to become Ethical Traders
- Support and Training Courses for companies preparing for an evaluation.
