On April 16, 2018 Sustainable Brands reported that “(j)ust over a week ahead of the five-year anniversary of the devastating Rana Plaza factory collapse, Better Buying and the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) have announced an 18-month partnership in Bangladesh to support and promote responsible buying practices within garment industry supply chains.
The two NGOs will invite Bangladeshi garment factories to anonymously evaluate their buyers using the Better Buying online rating platform, which gives buyers anonymized ratings from suppliers on seven key aspects of purchasing practices: planning and forecasting; design and development; cost and cost negotiation; sourcing and order placement; payment and terms; management of the purchasing process; and CSR harmonization.”
