1 Comparison of Codes: ETI Base Code; SA8000; GSCP
2 SEDEX CODE COMPARISON Introduction to the Codes ETI Ethical Trade Initiative: The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is a ground-breaking alliance of companies, trade unions and voluntary organisations which promotes the implementation of corporate codes of practice which cover supply chain working conditions. Their ultimate goal is to ensure that the working conditions of workers producing for the UK market meet or exceed international labour standards. The Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) produces guidelines aimed at the promotion and the improvement of ethical trade. The code of conduct has been elaborated in the UK by an alliance of companies, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and trade union organisations. It is composed of two key elements: the ETI Base Code and the accompanying Principles of Implementation. ETI has developed a code of labour practice - the 'Base Code' - reflecting the most relevant international standards with respect to labour practices which will be used as the basis of its work under the form of 9 statements. ETI member companies are expected to adopt the Base Code, or to adopt their own code so long as it incorporates the Base Code. The Base Code, which is accompanied by a set of general principles concerning implementation, provides a foundation for ETI's philosophy of learning. SA8000: SAI is a non-governmental, international, multi-stakeholder organization dedicated to improving workplaces and communities. It does this work with two principal types of tools; developing and implementing socially responsible standards, the first of which was SA8000; training and capacity building-- about specific standards and management systems for implementing social standards-- for workers, managers and auditors throughout the supply chain. SA8000 is an auditable certification standard based on international workplace norms of International Labour Organisation (ILO) conventions, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. This standard is the benchmark against which companies and factories measure their performance. Those seeking to comply with SA8000 have adopted policies and procedures that protect the basic human rights of workers. There are a series of documents available to support auditors and implementers of the SA8000 Standard; these are: the SA8000 Guidance Document; The SA8000 :2008 Drafters' Notes; and the SA8000 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).

4 GSCP (Global Social Compliance Program): The Global Social Compliance Programme is a business-driven programme for the continuous improvement of working and environmental conditions in global supply chains. The GSCP was created by and for global buying companies wanting to work collaboratively on improving the sustainability (social and environmental) of their oftenshared supply base. To this end, these companies are working on harmonizing existing efforts to deliver a shared, global and sustainable approach based on consensus and best existing practice, to promote upward convergence and reduce duplication. The GSCP Reference tools, including the Reference Code used in this comparison, are the product of the identification of best existing practices in operating monitoring systems, and provide a common base of high-level labour requirements applicable across sectors and geographies. The GSCP Reference Code is not a standard and the GSCP is not a monitoring system. The Programme and its tools are used by companies as a basis to develop their own supplier codes of conduct or as a benchmark for schemes owners (including initiatives or standard-setting bodies) to assess and improve their existing requirements for these to reflect best existing practice. The Reference Code is complemented by other GSCP Reference tools (available open source on which set out additional requirements for auditing (Reference Audit Process and Methodology), for auditing bodies and auditors (Reference tool for Auditing Competence) and Social Performance Management Systems.
