We support businesses to measure and achieve their ESG objectives, mitigate labor risks, and deliver safe, ethical workplaces for workers in the global supply chain.
Our sustainability goals for 2023 – 2024:
To deliver safe, ethical workplaces for workers in the global supply chain, IETP has been striving to foster industry collaboration, create impacts, increase efficiency, and reduce costs for businesses. We have set the following sustainability goals for 2023-2024:
- Invite more businesses to join our worker well-being programs, including the newly-launched Family Friendly Factory Program, for supporting factory workers’ needs. Through the provision of childcare, the implementation of flexible working arrangements, and support for breastfeeding mothers, the program not only offers tremendous business benefits for factories, but also supports children’s rights, ensures children are protected, and gives them the opportunity to thrive.
- Deliver a Gender Equality Program to address identified needs for gender equality initiatives in factories, by publishing a Gender Equality Handbook, providing an educational video series, and hosting a variety of capability-building workshops. The Program helps suppliers promote good business, empower female workers, and achieve gender equality.
- Offer an Environmental Assessment; a low cost, online and efficient tool to enable businesses to understand the environmental impact of their global supply chain. With the collection of a range of environmental metrics and the option of either using a stand-alone program or integrating the program into a buyer’s existing environmental initiative, businesses can identify meaningful trends and track progress with their stakeholders for achieving their commitments and targets.
- Empower workers’ voices and enable businesses to effectively operate and report on their due diligence processes, through our Worker Helpline service. By providing free, confidential advice and information to workers, the Helpline acts as a confidential grievance mechanism and enables suppliers to understand and identify potential hazards or workplace concerns they may have been unaware of.
