Initiative for Compliance and Sustainability (ICS)
What is the ICS?
Formed in 1998 by the Fédération Française du Commerce et de la Distribution (FCD), the Initiative for Compliance and Sustainability (ICS) is a France-based member organisation with the aim of enhancing working conditions along global supply chains of its member retailers and brands. ICS is composed of 54 multinational retailers and brands in the sectors of textile, retail, footwear, electronics and furniture.
The ICS programme efforts are based on a framework defined by the International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions, the universal human rights principles and applicable local regulations.
ICS utilises a common methodology and tools to facilitate social audits through third-party ICS-accredited audit companies. ICS audits result in a graded evaluation – which is used by members to engage factories to complete appropriate corrective actions. In addition to social compliance efforts, ICS has a robust, parallel supply chain environmental sustainability effort.
