Ethical Clothing Australia

Australian TCF business owners — if your supply chain involves local workers, this matters. Protecting the people who cut, sew, trim and finish your products isn’t just "good practice", it’s a compliance requirement and increasingly, a commercial advantage. Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation gives you verifiable proof that every worker in your Australian supply chain is being paid correctly and working safely. From design to dispatch, it’s transparent, ethical and independently checked. Next Thursday 27 November, we’re hosting a free webinar to walk you through: ✔️ How the accreditation process works ✔️ What we check (and why it protects your business) ✔️ The commercial benefits for accredited brands ✔️ Real insights from our Accreditation Program Advisors, Union partners and an accredited business If you’re looking to strengthen compliance, reduce risk, or take a meaningful step toward ethical production — this session will help.

What makes our accreditation program a global leader and differentiator in the market? We spoke to Martijn Boersma, Associate Professor at The University of Sydney Business School and Professor Justine Nolan, Director of the UNSW Australian Human Rights Institute, both co-authors (alongside Samuel Pryde, Australian Human Rights Institute) of a new report which examines our accreditation program and its positive impacts within the entire supply chain.

A new report from the UNSW Australian Human Rights Institute has found that Ethical Clothing Australia is setting the gold standard internationally with our accreditation program. The report examines how our accreditation program aligns with relevant legislation and regulations for preventing exploitation in the industry. It looked at global and local counterparts involved in improving standards in the sector and found that we are setting the gold standard, clearly standing out from other comparative global accreditation schemes. Report author Professor Justine Nolan, Director of the Australian Human Rights Institute, says the involvement of the Timber, Furnishing and Textiles Union as a key audit assessor makes the program distinct from all of its other global counterparts.
