BQCIS

Building Transparent and Responsible Supply Chains

BQCIS Ethical Sourcing & Provenance verification services help organizations confirm that their raw materials, components, and products are sourced in alignment with human rights, environmental protection, and fair-trade principles.

Using internationally recognized frameworks such as OECD Due Diligence, ISO 20400, and UN Global Compact, our experts map supply networks, trace origin points, and identify ethical risks across multi-tier suppliers. We verify claims of sustainable production, fair wages, and absence of forced or child labor.

With global verification hubs and advanced digital traceability tools, BQCIS delivers end-to-end visibility and third-party credibility for your sourcing commitments.
