IETP is a specialist responsible sourcing program, known for its robust Supplier Certification, remote Social Impact & Environmental Assessment, wide range of capability-building programs, and scalable worker wellbeing initiatives. We support businesses to measure and achieve their ESG objectives, mitigate labor risks and realize a safe and ethical workplace for workers.

Our sustainability goals for 2022:

IETP is committed to fostering industry collaboration to create impacts, increase efficiency and reduce costs, as a result, create better lives for workers. In 2022, we aim to:

• Create a quick & cost-effective solution for business to gain oversight of the environmental impacts of their operation & those of their suppliers. By launching an Environmental Assessment for suppliers in any industry, it would cover a broad range of environmental areas and can be used as a stand-alone program or integrated into a Buyer’s existing Environmental initiative.
• Engage more businesses to take action in the areas of wellbeing and decent work. We aim to collaborate with different stakeholders to showcase our multi-beneficial Family-friendly Spaces Program. These free factory-based childcare facilities are proven to enhance children’s development, improve parenting skills, increase parental earnings & promote employment.
• Develop a Gender Equality Program targeting the needs in the factories. The program plans to introduce the concept of gender equality and its importance, improve suppliers’ understanding of relevant laws & regulations, and tips to integrate Gender Equality into their operations.
