Ethical trade refers to business practices that prioritize fair treatment of workers and respect for human rights throughout the supply chain.
It involves ensuring safe working conditions, fair wages, and freedom of association, among other things. Ethical trade is a subset of responsible business practices, which also includes environmental sustainability and community impact.
Focussing on Worker Welfare. Ethical trade places a strong emphasis on well being of workers involved in the production of goods and services.
Socially Responsible Sourcing. Ethical trade often involves sourcing materials and products from suppliers who adhere to ethical labour practices.
Beyond economic objective. Ethical trade considers the wider implications of business decisions beyond just financial gains. Big Green Apple
Global supply chains. Ethical trade is particularly relevant in the context of global supply chains, where businesses need to ensure ethical practices are followed by their supplies worldwide.
Building Trust and Reputation. Adopting ethical trade practices can improve a business's reputation, build customer loyalty, and attract investors.
Distinction from Fairtrade. While related, ethical trade and fairtrade are distinct. Fairtrade focuses on providing fair prices and stable incomes for producers in developing countries, while ethical trade has a broader scope encompassing labour practices and other human rights issues throughout the supply chain.
