amfori to address Membership Misbehaviour
By signing the amfori Declaration of Membership, amfori members expressly adhere to the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct, amfori BSCI Terms of Implementation and the amfori BSCI Commitment Formula.
Over the past couple of months, amfori has improved an internal standard procedure to identify and address misbehaviour among amfori members.
Membership misbehaviour can be identified through unusual activities on the amfori Sustainability Platform, complaints received by Whistleblowers and through identified behaviour that undermines the integrity of the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct (e.g. disengagement with Zero Tolerance or Speak for Change cases).
Where potential member misbehaviour is identified, amfori BSCI members will be notified by the amfori main office and engaged in the necessary remediation process.
If an amfori BSCI member shows no improvements in the requested remediation or has insufficient engagement in the process, the amfori President may decide to trigger Article 9 of the amfori By-Laws on exclusion of amfori membership.
Please find in this document how membership misbehaviour can be detected and how amfori manages this behaviour to secure the integrity of the amfori BSCI Code of Conduct.
If you are interested to learn more about the Membership misbehaviour process, you may register for the Webinar on 6 December on Audit Integrity and Member Misbehaviour:
The revised amfori BSCI Commitment Formula (Guide 11) will be published in English by the end of 2022. It is planned to be effective in the implementation by Q3 2023.
