The Electronic industry Citizenship Coali-
tion (EiCC), an industry association of more
than 100 of the leading companies in the
information and communications technology
industries, established a single supply chain
code of conduct that provides a united voice
for customer expectations, streamlines the
oversight of supply chain conditions for both
suppliers and customers and allows both to
focus on changing social and environmental
conditions. Each member company in the EICC
has committed to adopting the code of conduct
and implementing it in their supply chain. The
EICC has worked to close the gaps between
its code of conduct and the Guiding Principles
on Business and Human Rights and, as a result,
has added key issues to its provisions, includ-
ing freedom of association, non-discrimination,
peaceful assembly and other key issues.
