Overview
Global brands and retailers require their suppliers to comply with their Buyer Code of Conduct (COC) to ensure ethical labor practices, safe working conditions, and environmental responsibility across the supply chain.
Quality Assured Business Solutions (QABS) helps factories and exporters understand, implement, and comply with buyer-specific codes of conduct, ensuring audit readiness and long-term compliance success.
What Is a Buyer Code of Conduct?
A Buyer Code of Conduct defines the minimum standards that suppliers must follow related to:
Labour & human rights
Health & safety at workplace
Working hours & wages
Child labour & forced labour prevention
Environmental protection
Ethical business practices
Legal & regulatory compliance
Compliance with buyer COC is mandatory for suppliers working with international brands and retailers.
