Effective Navigation Training in Supply Chain Compliance from amfori and Eurofins

Social compliance and ethical supply chain have become issues of interest to everyone involved in procurement and trade today, as companies seek regulatory compliance and brand protection. Whether you are in the apparel, footwear, furniture, packaging or food and feed industry, you are expected to meet the needs of buyers in this area and performing a social audit is the most common approach adopted. 

This has become even more critical with important regulations such as the EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (EU CSDDD) and the German Supply Chain Act (Lieferkettengesetz), which are in the proposal stage or will come into force soon. Therefore, ensuring transparency and adopting an effective mechanism is of great importance for maintaining compliance. 

amfori BSCI is one of the world's most widely used social audit standards in ensuring and strengthening successful and responsible businesses. Globally, amfori has more than 42,000 members, covering approximately 2,400 suppliers in various industries. 

To help you better understand this complex area of compliance, Eurofins is pleased to bring a four-hour seminar to Turkey where many important topics will be discussed with amphori representatives. This seminar will provide a great opportunity to learn and network face-to-face.
