amfori BEPI (Business Environmental Performance Initiative) is a global program focusing on supply chain environmental management. It is committed to helping enterprises identify and improve environmental impacts in the supply chain, promoting green production and sustainable development, covering key areas such as energy consumption, water resource management, and waste disposal. Currently, we provide professional training services for suppliers and factory parties worldwide on behalf of amfori, helping them deeply understand the requirements of BEPI standards, enhance environmental management capabilities, and effectively implement sustainable development practices.
amfori is a global business association, originally founded in Brussels, Belgium in 1977, formerly known as the "Foreign Trade Association (FTA)". In 2018, it was renamed amfori to focus on the needs of sustainable trade development. Initiated by European retailers and importers, the association has always been committed to helping enterprises optimize the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance of the entire supply chain. With comprehensive solutions, it supports sustainable development initiatives while helping enterprises alleviate supply chain disruptions. In addition, amfori's methodology can help enterprises assess and manage ESG compliance risks, covering key areas such as chemicals, climate, fair wages, and worker safety.
In 2014, amfori BEPI (Business Environmental Performance Initiative) was officially launched. As a specialized program focusing on supply chain environmental management, its core goal is to help enterprises identify and reduce the environmental impact of all links in the global supply chain from the source through systematic methods and tools, and promote the transformation of the supply chain towards a more sustainable direction.
Currently, amfori BEPI clearly covers eight key environmental performance areas, forming a comprehensive environmental management framework:
On this basis, amfori BEPI has also established a quantifiable key indicator monitoring system, which can accurately measure and analyze core environmental data in the supply chain, such as greenhouse gas emissions including carbon dioxide, consumption of various energy sources (such as electricity, fuel oil), total amount and classification proportion of waste generated in production and operation processes, as well as wastewater discharge, treatment efficiency, and water quality compliance. These indicators not only provide enterprises with a clear basis for environmental performance evaluation but also lay a data foundation for environmental management collaboration between upstream and downstream of the supply chain, helping enterprises continuously optimize their environmental performance to meet increasingly strict environmental regulations and sustainable development requirements worldwide.
Currently, amfori BEPI has the following main advantages:
Applicable to all retailers/brands/importers, all types of products, and all source countries for procurement (including factories in China).
As a professional service provider recognized by amfori, we provide systematic amfori-related training services for suppliers and factories in the supply chain worldwide. Relying on a deep understanding of the standard systems of various amfori initiatives (such as BEPI, BSCI, etc.) and practical experience covering different industries (such as manufacturing, retail supply chains, etc.), our training content is closely aligned with the actual operational needs of suppliers and factories — from detailed interpretation of standard clauses, practical points of key performance areas to solutions and case studies of common problems, all can be accurately delivered through customized courses. Through flexible forms such as face-to-face lectures and online interactive teaching, we help practitioners in all links effectively master compliance management methods, improve sustainable operation capabilities in environmental, social and other dimensions, so as to better respond to amfori initiative requirements and promote the greening and responsible development of the supply chain.
Q: Is amfori BEPI an environmental certification?
A: amfori BEPI is not an environmental certification. It uses an audit rating system from A (very good) to E (unacceptable), and due to the diversity of ratings, no certification can be awarded.
Q: What environmental performance areas does amfori BEPI cover?
A: amfori BEPI covers eight different environmental performance areas, namely: Environmental Management System, Energy and Climate, Air Emissions, Water and Wastewater, Waste, Biodiversity, Chemicals, and Nuisances.
In addition, amfori BEPI can measure key indicators such as carbon dioxide emissions, energy consumption, waste generation, and wastewater management.
Q: What do the audit activities of amfori BEPI include?
A: The audit activities of amfori BEPI are divided into the following categories:
Q: How does the amfori BEPI rating system work?
A: The amfori BEPI environmental monitoring rating reflects the compliance of members with local legal, regulatory and non-regulatory requirements in all assessed environmental performance areas. For full-scope environmental monitoring, the amfori Sustainability Platform will give a comprehensive score covering all environmental performance areas, with scores ranging from A to E.
Q: What is the audit cycle of amfori BEPI?
A: The audit cycle of amfori BEPI is two years, aiming to reduce audit fatigue. If a supplier receives an A or B rating, the audit report remains valid for the entire two-year cycle; if the rating is C, D, or E, the report is only valid for one year, and the supplier needs to complete the entire audit cycle through subsequent audits.
Q: If I am already using amfori BSCI, can I still use amfori BEPI?
A: Yes. If you are an amfori member and are using one of our solutions, you also have the right to use all other amfori solutions. One membership allows access to all amfori solutions.
