Most of the following annotated list of websites was prepared by Ruth Essex <strong>for</strong> ID21, see www.id21.org/insights/insights36/index.html If your <strong>chain</strong> includes the UK, a good place to start would be DFID's Ethical Trading Initiative, www.ethicaltrade.org, which includes ETI's baseline code. Other core baseline standards on which many audits are being based are the ILO standards at www.ilo.org/public/english/standards/index.htm and SA 8000 set by Social Accountability International at www.sa-intl.org . 129
Business <strong>for</strong>ums developing ethical trade strategies include the World Business Council <strong>for</strong> Sustainable Development's Sustainable Business Network at sbn.net<strong>for</strong>change.com and the Prince of Wales Business Leader Forum at www.pwblf.org . The New Academy <strong>for</strong> Business, www.new-academy.ac.uk, has a database of relevant documents.

Focussing on the garment industry are Oxfam's Clean Clothes Code site at www.oxfam.org.uk/campaign/clothes/clocodh.htm and the Clean Clothes Campaign International Network, www.cleanclothes.org, with links to European groups and a focus on Asia. The Asia Monitor Resource Centre at www.amrc.org.hk has focuses on labour movements and ethical trade in its Asia Labour Update.
