Ethical policy

Preamble
LBL recognises that its actions can have an impact on the lives of garment workers as well as those in other industries. In addition, as a solidarity organisation promoting responsible corporate behaviour of other companies, LBL recognises its responsibility to ensure its own practices are socially and environmentally responsible.
This may require Labour Behind the Label to invest more resources and staff time to fulfilling its ethical policy, and commit to doing this where financially possible. As a small organisation with limited budget, a balance needs to be struck between acting in a manner consistent with our values and ensuring we have the financial, technical and human resources to fulfil our organisational aims effectively.
This policy aims to set guidelines and minimum standards to ensure that this balance is reached in the everyday functioning of LBL. The policy covers various aspects of our operations including travel, IT, Ethical procurement, energy use and public reporting.
