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 in order to improve the working conditions of companies in the global supplier chain and to adapt. In addition to local laws, it is based on some other important international regulations such as the labor standards of the International Labor Organization and 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.
The BSCI scope studies that were created were completed in 2004 and the system has since been implemented worldwide. In 2011, sustainability was included within the scope of BSCI, which achieved a very rapid growth, and a stronger organizational structure was adopted. BSCI audit shows the commitment of all suppliers and designated subcontractors to the work ethic and quality system of the head office. In the BSCI audit, companies can access the audit results by checking the BSCI database. BSCI suppliers aim to improve their ethical audit procedures and quality system after completing their audits. Supplier rules can be applied to companies of all sizes, with any product. Since BSCI requires social responsibility as well as business and social compliance rules, it directly affects the purchasing decisions of brands.
