Outstanding Good Acceptable Insufficient Unacceptable Zero Tolerance
The amount of Amfori BSCI-audited suppliers has
continued to grow on an annual basis, in line with
our goals and expectations. Since AmforiBSCI enables
companies to co-operate, it has rapidly become an
acknowledged membership and an investment in the
eye of the supplier. Currently approximately 80 % of
our buying volume through our buying offices.
Amfori BSCI is not a certificate. It is an ongoing
process and a tool which require commitment from its
member in order to succeed. The most important work
begins after the audit is completed. For this reason, it
is not allowed to use the Amfori BSCI logotype as a
product certificate or to promote special products by
indicating factory compliance in relation to Amfori
BSCI. The Amfori BSCI logotype should only be used
to indicate membership of brands.
OTHER IMPORTANT INITIATIVES
New Wave Group is one of the respectable companies
that have signed the Accord on Fire and Building
Safety in Bangladesh. The Accord is a legal agreement
to improve the safety of textile factories in Bangladesh,
with focus on building construction, electrical- and
fire safety. All suppliers of New Wave Group have been
inspected and we have now entered into the remediation
process where all findings must be corrected. We are
happy to be part of the initiative and witness the solid
improvements taking place on the factory floor. The
Ready Made Garment industry is very important
to the Bangladeshi economy and the single biggest
export income. The Accord directly affects two million
workers, making it one of the greatest social initiatives
in modern time.
“The biggest strength of
New Wave is that we treat our suppli-
ers as partners. Suppliers know there
is always an extended hand, which
enables us to have a sincere commu-
nication. There is still much work to be
done in Bangladesh, and we accept
the challenge step
by step.”
