What it proves

An organization has been independently verified against BRE's BES 6002 Ethical Labour Sourcing standard, assessing the maturity of its processes for addressing ethical labour risks — including modern slavery due diligence — in its own operations and sourcing.

What it does not prove

  • A guarantee that no labour abuses exist anywhere in the supply chain — it verifies the organization's management processes and their maturity, not every supplier site.
  • Environmental claims of any kind.
  • Product-level claims — verification applies to the organization.

Expiry matters — check the certificate is current.

BES 6002 is a maturity-based verification of management processes, which is meaningfully weaker than site-level social audits of actual working conditions.

Primarily a UK standard, developed alongside BES 6001 and modern-slavery due-diligence expectations.
