Description
Committed:
Our members commit to implement the BSCI Code
of Conduct as part of their business relations with suppliers,
showing a willingness to improve the working conditions in their
supply chain.
Consistent:
We offer a unique and uniform systemfor suppliers
worldwide consisting of one Code of Conduct and one implementation
process, ensuring consistency and comparability of
audits.
Comprehensive:
The BSCI social compliance system is applicable to both large and
small companies and covers all products (industrialised and primary
production) sourced from any country.
Development
oriented: The BSCI is
not a certification scheme, We offer a step by step development
approach that helps suppliers implement the Code of Conduct
gradually. Suppliers who meet all BSCI requirements are encouraged
to go further and achieve our best practice, the
SA***0 social
management system and certification developed by Social
Accountability International (SAI).
Credible:
We only use external, experienced and independent auditing
companies to perform audits.
Focused on risk
countries: We focus
onrisk
countries*
where violations of workers’ rights occur frequently. The main
sourcing countries, based on audits performed, are China,
Bangladesh, India, Turkey and Vietnam.
Efficient:
Our common database of suppliers creates efficiencies and avoids
duplicating audits at factories already in the system.
