BUSINESS SOCIAL COMPLIANCE INITIATIVE (BSCI) (2003)
The BSCI is a European initiative of retail companies that seeks to ensure compliance with social standards in all supplier countries. It was launched in March 2003 by the European Foreign Trade Association (FTA). It has since been recognized by the EU Commission and has received active financial support since 2005.

 The provisions of the BSCI are largely identical to those of the AVE Sector Model for Social Responsibility.
