The EU CSDDD (Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive), phased in from 2024, requires large EU companies to conduct mandatory supply chain due diligence. Our active BSCI certification provides the documented evidence your ESG and compliance teams require.
Sourcing from a BSCI-certified manufacturer means your procurement team can demonstrate verified social compliance due diligence for EU regulatory purposes — without commissioning a separate audit. Our BSCI certification is shared directly through the amfori platform to your buyer account.
