Ethical Clothing Australia (ECA) is an accreditation body which works collaboratively with Aussie fashion businesses to protect garment workers. To be ECA accredited, a business’s manufacturing operations (including head offices) are audited to ensure that workers are being paid appropriately, receiving all their legal entitlements and working in safe conditions. ECA’s audit covers workers in design, pattern making, cut, make, trim, value-adding, dispatch and associated area and outworkers throughout the supply chain.
