2020 marks the tenth anniversary of the ICTI Ethical Toy Program (IETP) Worker Helpline. Over the last decade, our Worker Helpline has provided a confidential toll-free helpline service to serve as an effective grievance mechanism, it has been made available to over 792,110 workers and provided counseling and advice to 17,776 workers – supporting them across a broad range of personal and work-related issues. Front-line workers in factories play a critical role in the success of the global toy, play, and entertainment industries. The Worker Helpline is one of the most impactful win-win responsible sourcing initiatives in the supply chain; it is highly valued by workers, factories, and buyers alike.
