Accreditation 101 (Online event)

We’ll walk you through how accreditation works, what it means for your business, and how we support you every step of the way.

You’ll hear directly from our accreditation team about the process and requirements. Union representatives will share their perspective on why accreditation matters for garment workers’ rights. You’ll get real-world insights from a business that’s already accredited with us.

Ethical Clothing Australia accreditation is a beneficial differentiator in the market – a trust factor for public and private buyers and a protective measure against reputational harm. It demonstrates your commitment to legal compliance, workers’ rights, and supply chain transparency. Accredited businesses gain a competitive edge when tendering for government contracts and assuring larger organisations that their operations meet ethical standards.

Accreditation also supports you in meeting obligations under Australia’s Modern Slavery Act. Our rigorous process, which includes union-led audits, transparent supply chain mapping, and ongoing worker engagement, helps identify and reduce risks before they escalate into legal or reputational issues.

• Practical guidance to meet your obligations under the relevant Australian workplace laws.
• Certify that you protect and uphold the rights of your workers.
• Identify products manufactured in Australia with local supply chains.
• Use a recognisable trade mark to set your business apart and showcase your ethics to consumers and customers.
