Social Standard
For a responsible future – acting sustainably together
For a responsible future – acting sustainably together
Since CREaCLEAN products are not only manufactured in Switzerland, it was clear from the beginning that our required social standards must also be maintained at every other production location. For this purpose, we have joined the amfori initiative to work together with numerous other companies to improve working conditions in global supply chains. We show you here what goals are being pursued and what lies behind this commitment.
The AMFORI Code of Conduct is based on the conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO), the universal human rights declarations of the United Nations and the OECD guidelines. As a member of amfori BSCI, we have committed to agreeing to the following 11 principles of occupational safety and to actively engage in their enforcement:
The right to freedom of association and the right to collective bargaining
Our company respects the right of workers to form trade unions or other forms of workers' associations and to engage in collective bargaining.
Occupational health and safety
Our company ensures a healthy and safe working environment by assessing risks and taking all necessary measures to eliminate or minimize these risks.
Fair remuneration
Our company respects the right of workers to fair remuneration.
Special protection for young workers
Our company provides special protection to all workers who are not yet adults.
No forced labor
Our company is not involved in any form of bondage, human trafficking or involuntary labor.
Ethical business conduct
Our company does not tolerate any corruption, extortion, embezzlement or bribery.
No discrimination
Our company provides equal opportunities and does not discriminate against any workers.
Reasonable working hours
Our company complies with the law regarding working hours.
No child labor
Our company complies with the law regarding working hours.
No precarious employment
Our company employs workers based on documented employment relationships in accordance with the law.
Environmental protection
Our company takes the necessary measures to prevent environmental damage.
Binding standards for fair and sustainable supply chains
By joining, participants commit to involving their suppliers in the amfori BSCI process and are continuously monitored for their progress. The suppliers of BSCI participants in turn commit to compliance with the code and are audited accordingly. In addition, the companies are supported with training in further development.
In 1977, the former FTA organization (Foreign Trade Association) was founded in Brussels to ensure that goods from factories and companies around the world come from supply chains with fair working conditions and environmental awareness. In 2003, this became the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI), which reorganized and has been called amfori since 2018.
The association now has over 2,500 members who are active in 45 countries on 5 continents. It unites companies with a turnover of over 1.6 trillion euros. Through this collaboration and joint approach, members have a greater impact with their commitment than if they acted alone.
