amfori and the Rise of Responsible Trade Through Collective Action

In a recent interview with Sustainability Magazine, Linda Kromjong, President of amfori, shared how the organization is driving responsible trade and sustainable supply chains on a global scale. Founded in 1977, amfori has grown into a network of more than 2,400 members across 52 countries, all united by a shared goal: to help companies succeed while improving social and environmental outcomes in global commerce.

At the center of this effort is the amfori BSCI, or Business Social Compliance Initiative. This pioneering model for social due diligence helps organizations ensure that trade delivers benefits for people, the planet, and business. amfori now offers a comprehensive suite of ESG tools, including supply chain mapping, risk assessments, social and environmental audits, and legislative guidance, all aligned with leading global frameworks such as the UN Guiding Principles and OECD Guidelines.
