Training
Integrity due diligence training prepares organizations to conduct business with third parties who share their ethical values. It involves assessing the reputation of potential partners before engaging with them and monitoring their conduct over time to ensure ongoing compliance with ethical standards. Training may cover various topics including understanding ethical and legal frameworks, identifying and assessing risks, conducting due diligence, establishing ethical standards, communicating, and training, and monitoring and reporting. By equipping employees with the knowledge and skills to identify and manage risks, organisations can minimise reputational damage and any potential legal liability.
We train employees on identifying and preventing modern slavery in their supply chains, pulling from ethical and legal frameworks such as the Modern Slavery Act 2015. The training programme covers the definition of modern slavery, its prevalence, legal frameworks, indicators, due diligence, and reporting. By training employees to recognise signs of forced labour, human trafficking, debt bondage, and child labour, businesses can minimise legal and reputational risks and contribute to eradicating exploitation.
Sedex and ETI promote ethical and sustainable business practices. Sedex, the Supplier Ethical Data Exchange, provides a global platform for companies to manage and improve their ethical performance by sharing information about their labour standards, health and safety, and environmental management. ETI, the Ethical Trade Initiative, brings together businesses, trade unions, and NGOs to promote ethical and sustainable trade, working to improve working conditions and labour standards in global supply chains. We offer training programs on Sedex and ETI standards, covering topics such as human rights, labour standards, and environmental management, helping companies identify and address areas for improvement.
We train individuals and organisations on human rights principles and their importance in the workplace. The training may cover international human rights law, fundamental human rights principles, examples of abuses, advocacy and activism strategies, and specific contexts such as business, education, and healthcare. Also covered is The International Labour Organisation (ILO), an organisation promoting social justice and decent working conditions worldwide through labour standards.
We understand that every business is different, and that’s why we have a bespoke training package that can be tailored to meet specific needs regarding ESG issues and supply chain management. It may cover topics such as ethical sourcing, responsible production, labour rights, and environmental sustainability. We liaise with our clients to identify requirements and then develop a customised training programme, which can be delivered online or in person for tailored groups of employees.
