Introducing New Interface and Functions on Connect Platform

In order to bring users a better experience when using our responsible sourcing platform, Connect, we are launching an enhanced interface and suite of functions on Monday the 15th of March 2021.

IETP is here to support Buyer Members' supply chain sustainability journey, our program helps mitigate labor risks and ensure products are made in safe, ethical, and respectful workplaces. We understand buyers are constantly seeking up-to-date information for reporting and decision making, therefore our Connect Platform provides instant updates and important alerts on suppliers' compliance status.

These new platform enhancements aim to provide users with a more effective and user-friendly interface to sort information needed, understand suppliers’ status and recognize progress in the IETP program at a glance.
