Welcome to the ICTI CARE Process (ICP) website, the toy industry’s ethical manufacturing program aimed at ensuring safe and humane workplace environments for toy factory workers worldwide. To achieve these goals, we provide education, training and a single, fair, thorough and consistent monitoring program for toy factories. Our initial focus is on China, Hong Kong and Macau, where approximately 80% of the world's toys are manufactured. The program will be expanded, over time, to additional countries where toys are made.
