• Product development TEI is also involved in developing a wide range of physical and digital products that can be used in training programmes , and in the governance and management of ethics in organisations . Our product portfolio comprises various training videos , ethics applications ( apps ), and online-programmes that can be purchased by organisations for their own internal use .
One of our flagship products is the Ethically Aware Supplier Induction ( or EASI ) programme . This interactive programme with animated video content , case-studies , practical scenarios and exercises serves as a comprehensive training programme for raising awareness on ethical business practices in small and medium enterprises . It is typically procured by large organisations to train their small and medium suppliers on ethical business practices . The successful completion of the EASI program provides an opportunity for small and medium suppliers to be accredited as ‘ Ethically Aware ’ suppliers . Besides the original English version of the EASI programme
