Identify who owns the audit request

amfori BSCI is a programme for assessing and improving social risks at production sites; it is not certification. The amfori member holding RSP responsibility requests and approves the audit. A producer should confirm the customer’s membership, ability to hold RSP and platform invitation. A consultancy enquiry or payment cannot replace that authorisation chain.

Match the customer to the actual site

Compare legal name, facility address, production activities, shifts and workforce arrangements with the platform record. Scope example: a buyer requests the main factory’s report, while part of the order is produced in another workshop. Clarify the assessed site and outsourced work with the RSP holder. A report for one address cannot automatically represent another facility or company in the group.

Code of Conduct and preparation

Confirm applicable programme documents and Code of Conduct with the customer/RSP holder. Identify implementation gaps in hours, pay, recruitment, safety and worker involvement. Check the auditing company’s BSCI role in amfori’s current partner directory. Kayra supports preparation, record organisation and correction tracking; consultancy does not assume the member’s request authority or the auditor’s assessment role.

Improvement after the report

Site observations, interviews and documents contribute to the audit assessment. Convert findings into a plan with actual causes and responsible people; agree relevant follow-up needs with the RSP holder and auditing company. Do not describe a BSCI report as an ISO certificate, an unconditional pass or a certificate automatically accepted by every customer. Confirm the particular buyer’s acceptance and access requirements.
