BSCI

The BSCI is the European social monitoring system for ethical sourcing, initiated by the Foreign Trade Association (FTA) based in Brussels. BSCI is a business-driven initiative for companies committed to improving working conditions in the global supply chain. BSCI unites hundreds of companies around a common code of conduct and supports their efforts to build an ethical supply chain by providing them with a step-by-step, development-oriented system that applies to all industries and all sourcing countries.

The BSCI Code of Conduct is based on the main international conventions protecting workers' rights, in particular the ILO Conventions and Recommendations. All BSCI participants commit to implementing the code in their supply chains. BSCI supports companies by providing them with a range of interconnected activities and tools to achieve a socially responsible supply chain.

The 11 principles of the Code of Conduct that BSCI participants commit to implementing in their supply chains are:

• The right to freedom of association and collective bargaining

• Fair pay
• Decent working hours
• Health and safety at work
