Impact through Cooperation
together we move
We work together with the following organisations:
AMFORI BSCI (Business social compliance initiative)
Amfori BSCI is a leading business initiative to improve working conditions in global supply chains. The amfori BSCI Code of Conduct (CoC) is based on the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the universal human rights declarations of the United Nations, the UN Global Compact and the OECD guidelines. All members of amfori BSCI agree to the CoC and commit themselves to comply with it. By joining, the participants must involve their suppliers in the amfori BSCI process and are continuously monitored for progress. The suppliers of the BSCI participants in turn commit themselves to comply with the BSCI CoC and are audited accordingly. In addition, the companies are supported in their further development with training courses.
yourharvest has been a amfori BSCI member since 2014 and is committed to implementing the BSCI system in its supply chains. We monitor the processing standards of our producers and arrange risk-based BSCI audits.
