Frequently asked questions

Do you conduct BSCI audits?

No. BSCI audits are carried out by amfori-approved auditing companies. We prepare you and close the findings.

How are BSCI audits rated?

Facilities receive an overall rating on an A to E scale.

We received a low rating. What now?

Start with the CAPA from the audit report. Our remediation service closes each finding with evidence before the follow-up.

Who requests a BSCI audit?

Usually an amfori member company that buys from you.
