Our cooperations

BSCI

The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) is a leading supply chain management system that supports companies to drive social compliance, in terms of labour standards and human rights, in the global supply chain. BSCI´s code of conduct is based on the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the declarations of the United Nations (UN) and the guidelines for multinational enterprises of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). As production often is global and located in countries where national laws protecting workers are inadequate or poorly enforced, many companies need to create individual codes of conduct for their suppliers. BSCI works to tackle these challenges by offering one common code of conduct and one single implementation system, including synchronised training for producers, suppliers and companies.
