BSCI (business social responsibility initiative)

BSCI audit instructions:

BSCI audit can be initiated by any one of BSCI members (end buyers), factories / middlemen and audit companies. It is most convenient for BSCI members to create audit requirements on the BSCI platform. If SGS creates the application for water demand, the company will have the right to audit the project (i.e. RSP), otherwise the audit will be unable to continue. No matter which party the audit initiator is, the member must have the audit right (RSP) of the factory, otherwise the audit will not be carried out. RSP is the abbreviation of "responsibility". Only with RSP of the factory can BSCI members audit the factory. If the audit initiator does not have the RSP of the factory, it needs to obtain the RSP from the RSP owner through BSCI platform or BSCI organization. Any audit organization has no right to disclose to the member which member has the RSP of the factory.
