BSCI
Target groups and goal development
Show that you care by using the BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) audit to do your bit for fair working conditions in supplier countries. It also allows you to avoid costly multiple audits, saving you money and time. An additional benefit is that it makes an excellent starting point for future SA 8000 accreditation.
Fair to humans and the environment
The BSCI’s ultimate goal is to promote socially acceptable production conditions. In agreement with the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the standard requires:
- Adherence to national laws
- Freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
- The prohibition of any form of discrimination
- Adherence to the legal minimum wage and the provision of a living wage
- A maximum working week of 48 hours and limited overtime
- Clear occupational health and safety regulations and procedures
- The prohibition of child labour
- The prohibition of forced labour and disciplinary measures
- Adherence to the minimum requirements for waste management, dealing with chemicals and other dangerous substances and their disposal, emissions and sewage treatment
