Ethical Trade: A Comprehensive Guide for Companies (Second Edition, 2006), published by the Ethical Trading Initiative, is a practical workbook designed to help businesses integrate ethical sourcing and labour standards into their operations. Structured as a hands-on guide, it includes actionable frameworks, real-world case studies, tools, and best practices to support companies in implementing the ETI Base Code—which aligns with International Labour Organization conventions. The guide emphasizes strategic use of audits, supplier engagement, worker-centred processes, business practice alignment, and multi-stakeholder collaboration to drive meaningful change in global supply chains
