Double Certification, Double Commitment: BOHANG Earns BSCI Grade B & GRS 2026 Certification

At BOHANG, maintaining internationally recognised certifications is part of our annual routine. For 2026, we are pleased to confirm that we continue to hold both the amfori BSCI Grade B rating and the GRS (Global Recycled Standard) certification – renewed for another year.

These two credentials are not one‑off achievements; they represent our everyday approach to production, quality, and social accountability. We renew them year after year, because we believe that consistent compliance is the foundation of a trusted partnersh

✅ BSCI Grade B – What it means for you

BSCI (Business Social Compliance Initiative) is one of the most widely adopted supply‑chain social audit systems, overseen by amfori – a global trade association with over 2,600 member brands and retailers. The audit covers 11–13 performance areas, including labour rights, working hours, compensation, occupational health and safety, environmental protection, and business ethics. Ratings range from A (excellent) to E (unacceptable).

In 2026, the framework has moved to BSCI 2.0, with higher requirements in digitalisation, human rights, and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance). Audits are now semi‑announced or unannounced – meaning that our Grade B rating reflects our day‑to‑day operational reality, not a one‑time preparation.

Our Grade B (Good) rating – with an overall compliance score between 71% and 85% and no ‘D’ or ‘E’ findings in any of the 13 areas – gives you:

• Supplier reliability – Grade B is the level preferred by major European retailers (e.g. ALDI, LIDL) for long‑term cooperation.

• Audit efficiency – A BSCI Grade B report is valid for two years, so you avoid repeated follow‑up audits.

• Shared access – The report can be shared with multiple amfori buyers, reducing duplicate assessments.

• Market readiness – Grade B meets the entry criteria for most European brands, easing your route to those markets.

Moreover, in March 2026, amfori BSCI received official recognition from the Consumer Goods Forum’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) – reinforcing the credibility of our certification.

♻️ GRS 2026 – Verified recycled content, year after year

The Global Recycled Standard (GRS), developed by Textile Exchange, verifies recycled material content, chain‑of‑custody, environmental management, social criteria, and chemical restrictions. The standard has been updated to GRS 4.0 in 2026, with stricter purity requirements – for example, recycled PET flakes must now be over 99.5% pure, with no mixing of virgin or non‑compliant materials. Products must contain at least 20% recycled material to be certified, and at least 50% if you wish to use the GRS label in marketing.

We have renewed our GRS certification for 2026, confirming that our operations meet all these updated requirements. This means:

• Credible sustainability claims – Our GRS certification gives you a verified story to share with your own customers.

• Full traceability – From feedstock to final product, every step is documented with Transaction Certificates (TCs).

• Competitive advantage – GRS‑certified items often command a 5–15% price premium in the procurement systems of leading brands.

• EU compliance – As European regulations on sustainable products tighten, GRS is becoming a prerequisite for market access.

  🎯 Two certifications, one reliable partner

  Holding both BSCI Grade B and GRS 2026 means that we offer you more than just “green” products. We provide a factory environment that is transparent, socially responsible, and environmentally sound – and we maintain these standards every single year.

  For you, this translates to:

  • Confidence – Our BSCI rating proves that our facility is ethically managed and compliant.

  • Authenticity – Our GRS certification verifies that our products contain genuine recycled content.

  • Simplified compliance – Our shared audit reports can cover your needs, saving you time and money.

  • Expanded opportunities – Both certifications are essential for European markets, removing barriers to your growth.

  2026 brings tighter audit and purity standards worldwide – but for us, it is business as usual. We keep our certifications current through consistent daily practices, not through last‑minute efforts. That is the BOHANG way.

  We look forward to continuing our partnership with you, built on responsibility and sustainability.
