Amfori BSCI
Since 2014, DASSY Europe bv is a member of amfori (former Foreign Trade Association), the leading global business association of European and international trade. As part of our participation in the amfori BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative), we work with other actors in the supply chain to ensure safe and fair working conditions.
