BSCI AUDIT
It is a standardized European approach created to monitor social standards and performance in producer or supplier countries. It was established in 2003 by the Foreign Trade Association with the aim of improving and adapting the working conditions of companies in the global supplier chain. Besides local laws, it is based on the labor standards of the International Labor Organization and some other important international regulations such as the United Nations Convention on Human Rights. This initiative aims to continuously increase the social performance of suppliers and to improve working conditions in factories around the world.
Established BSCI scope studies were completed in 2004 and the system has since been implemented worldwide. Sustainability was included in the scope of BSCI, which has grown rapidly, and a stronger organizational structure was adopted in 2011. The BSCI audit demonstrates the commitment of all suppliers and designated subcontractors to the core company´s work ethic and quality system. In BSCI audit, companies can reach audit results by checking the BSCI database. BSCI suppliers aim to improve their ethical audit procedures and quality system after completing their audits.
