BEPI is neither an auditing company nor an accreditation system: It provides companies with an environmental assessing methodology and report. It does not organise assessments ourselves but provide a network of external, experienced and qualified assessing companies. It also offers on-site capacity building which is provided by external, experienced and qualified environmental consulting companies. Furthermore, BEPI develops relationships with key stakeholders.

It is not a certification scheme such as ISO 14001: It provides a system that supports companies to gradually improve environmental performance in their supply chain through practical support.

BEPI offers a single system that enables all companies sourcing all product types to address the environmental performance of their supply chains.

Through collaboration with participating companies and stakeholders, BEPI tools have been developed to collect and share information, and to coach and assess performance at factory level.

One comprehensive scope of 11 environmental performance areas

One single implementation system

Various tools and activities to support companies and producers

For all retailers, importers and brand companies

For all types of products

For all sourcing countries

In today’s global and fast-moving competitive markets, businesses face complex environmental challenges in their supply chains. The increasing scarcity of natural resources and environmental degradation have increased both demands for regulation as well as societal expectations for more transparency and accountability.

In this context, companies recognise that the performance of their business depends on the ability of their supply chain to respond to environmental challenges and to deliver operational excellence throughout their supply chain.  A core aim of BEPI is to support companies to prepare for these challenges.

The Business Environmental Performance Initiative (BEPI) enables companies to manage and improve the environmental performance of their global supply chain through a supported and tailored management system approach. 

BEPI uses industry best practices alongside practical technical expertise to support companies in developing supply chain visibility and meet the increasing environmental regulatory and stakeholder requirements. The basis of the BEPI Framework is built on the Global Social Compliance Programme (GSCP) Environmental Reference Tools, and it is also aligned with leading environmental standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI).
