Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) is a leading alliance of trade unions, NGOs, and companies, working together to advance human rights in global supply chains. We convene and collaborate with key stakeholders to improve business transparency and accountability and bring about positive change. A critical friend, ETI provides practical solutions to end the abuse of human rights at work, to make workers’ lives, and business, better.
ETI is seeking an experienced Survey Research Consultant to support an exciting project exploring how purchasing practices in global shrimp supply chains affect suppliers and workers. Purchasing practices such as short lead times, cost pressures, and delayed payments can have significant impacts on working conditions and human rights. As part of ETI's Responsible Purchasing Practices programme, you will help design robust supplier surveys that generate practical insights to support more responsible business practices across the global food sector.
