In 2014, we became a member of Amfori BSCI, the leading global business association for open and sustainable trade. Amfori is a business-driven initiative for companies committed to improving working conditions in the global supply chain. Their code aligns with international frameworks concerning human rights and labour standards, including the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Children's Rights and Business Principles, UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights and OECD Guidelines, as well as the conventions and recommendations of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), which are relevant to improving working conditions in the supply chain. The Amfori code of conduct has 11 principles which range from fair wages to no child labour, along with a step-by-step approach that enables companies to monitor, engage, get empowered and receive support to put sustainable trade at the heart of their business.
