Amfori, is a leading global business association for open and sustainable trade that has a membership of more than 2,200 retailers, importers, brands and associations across 44 countries on four continents. It has the strongest membership in the US, Canada, Australia, UK and Spain.
Amfori has introduced a new governance structure, extended its membership offering, launched new tools and expanded upon its global network to bring its members closer to the operations of their business partners in supply chains that stretch across the world.
The group has forged partnerships. Key among them are with the Swiss non-profit myclimate, the Zero Discharge of Hazardous Chemicals Program, the German Partnership for Sustainable Textiles, the Chinese Belt and Road Industrial and Commercial Alliance and the EU Chamber of Commerce in China.
In Thailand, Amfori has launched a 12 month capacity building project for responsible recruitment practices supporting due diligence by small companies in global supply chains. To match its ambition for inspiring action across the world and serve its growing global membership, in 2017-18 Amfori established its first office in Latin America, opened one in Bangladesh and added to local teams in India and Greater China. The aim is to encourage those who want to use trade for good in the world.
