ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP)
Improve your supply chain transparency
Compliance with social and environmental standards in the supply chain is becoming increasingly important for companies, not least because of legal requirements. Certification to the standards of the ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP) enables companies in the toy industry to demonstrate that they reliably meet the required social and environmental standards – and thus build trust with their customers. As an internationally operating and IETP-accredited auditing service provider, TÜV Rheinland supports you and your suppliers in this process.
What is the ICTI Ethical Toy Program?
The ICTI Ethical Toy Program is the responsible supply chain program for the international toy, children's product and printing industry. The program focuses on compliance with social and environmental standards – standards that are of increasing concern and importance to your customers.
“IETP Certification represents a mark of excellence which buyers trust; over two-thirds of the world’s toys are produced in IETP Certified factories.”
ICTI is the International Council of Toys Industries. It is a non-profit organization that brings together toy associations from around the world. Through the Ethical Toy Program, ICTI promotes responsible supply chains in the international toy industry. The program focuses on compliance with social and environmental standards – standards that are of increasing concern and importance to your customers.
Get the benefits of an IETP audit
Save time and money – an IETP audit pays off
The Ethical Toy Program (IETP) was originally developed specifically for the toy industry, but has been used successfully in many other sectors. The program therefore covers products and goods of all types and from a wide range of sectors. As a result, the IETP audit checklist is regularly being reviewed to respond to the evolving needs of factories, brands and retailers, to reflect changes in regulation and to integrate best practices.
By avoiding multiple audits, IETP certification can help you achieve significant efficiencies, time and cost savings and competitive advantage. It can also drive improvements in manufacturing operations: Better working conditions increase employee satisfaction and reduce turnover.
