BSI Practitioners

BSI Practitioners are construction contractors who operate construction camps for workers. When they join the BSI Initiative they gain free access to the BSI Training Package and Toolkit. The training takes them step-by-step through the basics of social sustainability and business and human rights, right through to practical solutions to address the common risks found in construction camps in Thailand. The BSI Team is on-hand to provide remote coaching for operational staff and to give advice to management on communicating their performance in sustainability reports.

BSI Ambassadors

BSI Ambassadors are project owners and developers, engineering companies and any other companies in the property and construction sector who have an interest to build social sustainability  and control risk in their supply chain. By joining the BSI Initiative, BSI Ambassadors gain real insight into the social risks in the supply chain. With the high risk and complexity in construction projects, clear and actionable ESG data is vital for demonstrating to investors, regulators, and clients that businesses are going beyond policy statements and are taking real action for sustainability in their supply chains.
