Ethical Rating Cymru
Awarding organisations taking action on Modern Slavery risk and worker welfare
What is Ethical Rating Cymru?
Ethical Rating Cymru awards organisations taking action to measure, monitor and control Modern Slavery risk and ethical employment standards in their operations.
By recognising and rewarding the best organisations, the programme is designed to drive up employment standards, improving worker welfare within Wales and across its supply chains.
Worker welfare is not simply as a ‘nice to have’, but is a profitable and sustainable strategy that benefits employers and workers alike.
The structure of Ethical Rating Cymru means that organisations of any size can join. Organisations can pause or stop at any level, working through the programme at their own pace.
