01 / THE BIG PICTURE
Understand the requirements.
See the opportunity.
amfori BSCI is a member-led social performance programme used by businesses to assess and improve conditions in their supply chains. Its audit process produces findings and ratings. It should not be sold as a general product certificate or an unconditional declaration that a workplace has no issues.
Complise Global helps producers organize a realistic readiness programme with their responsible buyer. Preparation focuses on actual working conditions and reliable evidence, while maintaining the independence of the authorized audit process.

amfori’s guidance states that the responsible member, or RSP holder, requests and approves the audit. Producers should coordinate with a participating customer and establish the correct platform relationship before treating an audit booking as confirmed.

Prepare an accurate description of the workplace, activities and employment arrangements. Include shifts, recruitment channels and relevant third-party workers. Hidden production areas or incomplete workforce records undermine the purpose of the assessment and obstruct meaningful improvement.

Compare policies with the evidence of actual implementation. Prioritize issues that affect workers, including recruitment, working time, pay and occupational safety. Preparation should help managers understand causes and responsibilities instead of simply assembling documents.

- Safety arrangements and training evidence

Explain audit preparation without coaching workers to give scripted answers. Maintain appropriate channels for concerns and grievances. Staff should understand how issues can be raised and addressed without retaliation, and management should be ready to demonstrate follow-through.

amfori describes ratings at both performance-area and overall levels. An audit rating is information for assessment and improvement, not a guarantee of future conditions. Review findings with the responsible buyer and distinguish immediate correction from longer-term preventive action.

Assign realistic owners and evidence requirements for improvements. Revisit actions to check whether they remain effective during normal operations. We support gap reviews, record organization and corrective action planning; the monitoring partner conducts the independent audit.
