Ethical trade

Ethical trade

Ethical trade means different things to different people. In particular, some people refer to “ethical trade” as an umbrella term for all types of business practices that promote more socially and/or environmentally responsible trade. Others use the term in a much narrower sense, referring specifically to the labour practices in a company’s supply chain.
