(See BSCI Declaration of Membership) Additionally, any BSCI member may decide to also implement the BSCI process in countries which are not mentioned in the list below or regions of countries not mentioned, that can be priorities for this members specific activity or sector. Since BSCI requirements are based on ILO Core Conventions, the geographical scope below is also defined in the attempt to promote decent work conditions with focus on the four strategic objectives of the ILO Decent Work Agenda: Employment; Social protection; Social dialogue and tripartism; Fundamental principles and rights at work.

The classification as a risk country is, in addition to the field experience of sourcing companies, based on the Human Development Index of the United Nations and the Corruption Perceptions Index of Transparency International.
