At Avec, we do business with our heart. With love and respect for people, animals and the environment. These values are anchored in our corporate policy.

* BSCI is an industry-independent organisation that monitors and carries out research and inspections with regard to chain responsibility. BSCI supports retailers, the industry and for importers that want to improve social standards in their chains.
