Members of the BTHA sign a code of conduct which includes agreeing to use only toy factories which are part of the ICTI CARE process.
The ICTI CARE Process is the international toy industry's ethical manufacturing programme, aimed at ensuring safe and humane workplace environments for toy factory workers worldwide.
The initial focus is on China, Hong Kong and Macau, where the vast majority of the world's toys are manufactured. Expansion is contemplated, over time, to all countries where toys are made.
The CARE (Caring, Awareness, Responsible, Ethical) Process is the International Council of Toy Industries' (ICTI) programme to promote ethical manufacturing, in the form of fair treatment of workers with particular emphasis on wages and safe working conditions.
Its initial focus is in China, where 80% of UK toys are manufactured. Its intent is to provide a single, fair, thorough and consistent programme to monitor toy factories' compliance with ICTI's Code of Business Practices (the "Code").
