BSCI
The BSCI is the European social monitoring system for ethical sourcing initiated by the Brussels-bas ed Foreign Trade Association (FTA). BSCI is a business-driven initiative for companies committed to improving working conditions in the global supply chain. BSCI unites hundreds of companies around one common Code of Conduct and supports them in their efforts to build an ethical supply chain by providing them with a step-by-step development- oriented system, applicable to all sectors and all sourcing countries.
SMETA
SMETA, which stands for Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit, is a widely used social audit procedure. It was developed by Sedex to provide a standardized approach to assessing ethical and responsible practices in a company's supply chain. The audit is used to evaluate the standards of labor, health and safety, environmental performance, and business ethics at a company's own facilities or a supplier's site. This helps businesses and their customers identify and mitigate risks, improve working conditions, and increase transparency.
SLCP

RCS
Rich Communication Services (RCS) is an industry-standard messaging protocol that upgrades tradition al SMS and MMS texting with features typically found in modern, internet-based chat apps. Developed by the GSM Association (GSMA), RCS allows users to send richer, more dynamic content through their phone's native messaging application
GRS
The GRS (Global Recycled Standard) logo is an international certification mark for products made wit h a high percentage of recycled content, verifying their environmental, social, and chemical standards
Combined GRS + RCS
There is no single "combined GRS + RCS" logo because they are two separate standards, though they ar e related, with GRS being more rigorous than RCS.
Combined GOTS + OCS + RCS + GRS
GOTS, OCS, RCS, and GRS are all textile and recycling standards with unique logos and purposes. GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) ensures organic fibers and ethical production, while OCS (Organic Content Standard) verifies organic material content but not environmental and social criteria during production. RCS (Recycled Claim Standard) tracks recycled materials through the supply chain, and GRS (Global Recycled Standard) does the same but also includes social and environmental criteria for recycled content products. The logos for these standards are distinct, often featuring the standard's name in a specific design, to visually communicate the product's certified origin and manufacturing practices.
Combined GOTS + OCS
There is no single "combined" GOTS + OCS logo, as GOTS is a comprehensive standard and OCS is a stan dalone content standard. Instead, a product may use the GOTS logo if it meets all GOTS criteria, or it can use the OCS logo if it only meets OCS criteria. A product that uses a mix of OCS-certified and non-certified material is ineligible for the GOTS logo. Instead, it may use the OCS logo with a specific claim or description indicating the percentage of organic content.
