BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative)

Enhance your company's social performance

BSCI is the common European platform of retailers, industry and importing companies for monitoring and improving social standards in supplier countries for all consumer goods. It is based on the labour standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and other important international regulations like the UN Charter for Human Rights, as well as on national regulations.

The Initiative aims to continuously improve the social performance of suppliers. This leads to Best Practices like SA8000 certification or equivalent, thereby creating sustainability-enhancing factory working conditions. Our experienced auditors can help your business attain BSCI certification and implement these Best Practices.
