Ethical Trade &
Transparency Hub
The ETT Hub is designed to advance practical due diligence, transparency, and accountability in high-risk supply chains. It responds to a widening gap between evolving international standards and implementation on the ground, especially where forced labor, state-linked abuses, sanctions evasion, and opaque commercial networks intersect.
Where Evidence, Due Diligence, and Accountability Meet
Premise
At its core, the Hub is grounded in a simple premise:
Serious human rights abuses in supply chains cannot be effectively addressed by civil society alone, nor can they be treated as stand-alone human rights concerns.
Meaningful responses require risk-based due diligence, sustained information-sharing, and coordination among governments, regulators, businesses, researchers, investors, and civil society.
