BSCI

The BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) certification is an internationally recognized corporate social responsibility (CSR) standard designed to improve working conditions and ethical practices in global supply chains. It applies to factories, manufacturers, and suppliers, rather than individual products, and evaluates compliance with labor laws, human rights, health and safety standards, and environmental practices. Through BSCI audits, companies are assessed on their policies regarding fair wages, working hours, prohibition of child and forced labor, safe and hygienic working environments, and the implementation of management systems to ensure continuous improvement. Additionally, BSCI emphasizes ethical business practices, transparency, and social accountability across the supply chain. Holding BSCI certification demonstrates that a company is committed to responsible manufacturing, protecting workers’ rights, and maintaining a sustainable and ethical operation. It is widely recognized by international brands, retailers, and sourcing companies as a mark of trust, helping suppliers gain credibility in global markets and strengthen relationships with socially responsible buyers. By following the BSCI framework, companies can mitigate social compliance risks, enhance corporate reputation, and ensure that their supply chain aligns with international labor and ethical standards.
