Ongoing training, guidance and support are key to helping factories remain in compliance with Ethical Supply Chain Program (ESCP) standards once auditors have left.

Early in April, IETP partnered with the Procurement & Supply Chain: Risk & Resilience Conference, by offering our members the opportunity to enjoy high-level case studies and network with a diverse range of fellow professionals. The 2-day hybrid event brought together industry leaders & experts from a wide variety of different industries to discuss the importance of a range of topics within the sphere of Supply Chain & Procurement. One topic, however, was raised more frequently than any other in both the presentations from speakers and in the questions posed by attendees: the topic of Environmental Sustainability.

Consumers are becoming more and more interested in responsible and ethical purchasing. Research shows that as many as 88%[1] of consumers want the brands that they are buying from to help them to become more ethical in their daily lives.

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, 10 Chinese factories in the ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP) are implementing the Family-Friendly Spaces (FFS) program this summer. FFS aims to provide secure and well-equipped spaces at factories for children to learn and play while their parents work. By embracing this program during these challenging times, these factories are showing themselves to be supportive, caring, and family-friendly employers. New factories, IETP, and our implementation partner CCRCSR have gone through the steps below to build factories' knowledge on how to run the FFS program and transform spaces into safe, colorful, and fun activity areas for children.

Building on the success of the new e-learning platform, IETP is launching the second module designed to raise factory members’ awareness of Modern Slavery. Investors, consumers, and governments are increasingly expecting businesses to perform due diligence to ensure their supply chains are modern-slavery-free, and new and stronger anti-slavery laws are approaching to enforce this. Therefore, businesses need to get a good understanding of the issue and its potential impact.
