What is a BSCI report and how does it help companies find a reliable supplier?

The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) is a corporate initiative that aims to improve working conditions in the global supply chain. To maintain and monitor the social standards of consumer goods in all the supplier countries, BSCI acts as a common European platform for retailers, industry, and importing companies.

The report assesses working conditions in a factory or facility against internationally recognised labour standards such as the International Labour Organisation (ILO) Conventions and the United Nations (UN) Human Rights Conventions. It covers a wide range of topics, such as working conditions, health and safety, discrimination, working hours, pay, child labour and environmental protection.

By verifying compliance with these standards and identifying areas for improvement in working conditions at suppliers, companies can ensure that their products are manufactured in a way that meets internationally recognised social and ethical standards. Companies can use BSCI reports to evaluate potential suppliers and ensure that they only work with reliable suppliers who are committed to improving working conditions.

Benefits of BSCI Certification

• Improving the management of the value chain.
• Providing a standard to guarantee the best practices.
• Safety to companies when finding a reliable manufacturer.
• Ensure the products are manufactured in accordance with ethical standards.
• Recognition of socially compliant organization.

A BSCI report can therefore help to monitor and improve compliance with labour standards in their supply chain. By working with suppliers who meet these standards, companies can ensure that their products are produced in an ethically responsible manner.
