WHITEWEAR is Now A Member of amfori BSCI

We cooperate with many suppliers across the world. We deeply care about doing our part when it comes to improving working conditions. That is why, on March 1st 2021, WHITEWEAR became a member of amfori BSCI. 

What is amfori BSCI
Amfori believes in a world where trade facilitates social, environmental and economic benefits for everybody. To achieve that, amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) uses a code of conduct to which all members adhere. This code is built upon 11 principles and values that ensure ethically and socially responsible business conduct. The code also sets several demands for factories that produce our wares regarding their employees' working conditions. Conditions that are audited regularly by an independent third party.

Amfori BSCI's 11 Principles

1. The rights of freedom of association and collective bargaining
2. No discrimination
3. Fair remuneration
4. Decent working hours
5. Occupational health and safety
6. No child labour
7. Special protection for young workers
8. No precarious employment
9. No bonded labour
10. Protection of the environment
11. Ethical business behaviour

Amfori requires the active participation of all its members in the continued development of these eleven principles. Furthermore, all members commit themselves to fulfil their responsibilities regarding respecting human rights within their respective fields of operation.

Amfori's Core Values
Amfori has three core values that guide the organisation and its members: continuous improvement, cooperation, and empowerment.

• All members are expected to ensure a further improvement of working conditions for all parties within their organisation.
• Cooperation and a common approach between business partners and their supply chains create a more significant impact on improving working conditions.
• The empowerment of all members and their business partners, especially the manufacturers, is good for people, communities and business.

What Does the amfori BSCI Membership Mean to WHITEWEAR?
Many of our business partners are BSCI audited already. With the amfori BSCI membership, we can now actively participate in further improving working conditions, together with our business partners and in our own supply chain. The eleven principles represent areas where WHITEWEAR  is obliged to continue working for an even better and more sustainable supply chain.

The amfori BSCI membership also incorporates the amfori Academy – an innovative digital platform for developing sustainable supply chain management skills. It offers training to both our business partners and us – knowledge we can use when we visit our partners across the world, allowing us to evolve together.
​
WHITEWEAR  cares about the environment and decent working conditions for all parties involved, making the amfori BSCI membership a natural step in our continued development.
