WORLDWIDE RESPONSIBLE ACCREDITED PRODUCTION (WRAP)

I.INTRODUCTION

Worldwide Responsible Accredited

Production (WRAP), formerly Worldwide
Responsible Apparel Production, is a non-
profit organization dedicated to promoting
safe, lawful, humane and ethical
manufacturing around the world through
certification and education. The WRAP
certification program mainly focuses on the
apparel, footwear and sewn products sectors.
Worldwide Responsible Accredited
Production (WRAP) is an independent,
objective, non-profit team of global social
compliance experts dedicated to promoting safe, lawful, humane and ethical manufacturing
around the world through certification and education. It is headquartered in Arlington, Virginia,
USA with offices in Hong Kong and Bangladesh and representatives in India and Southeast
Asia. WRAP was formed out of the desire to create an independent and objective body to help
apparel and footwear factories around the world verify that they are operating in compliance with
local laws and internationally-accepted standards of ethical workplace practices. American
Apparel Manufacturers Association (now the American Apparel and Footwear Association)
moved to coordinate an industry response to the issues like excessive working hours, unsafe
conditions, and the denial of several legally-mandated benefits to workers. Today, WRAP has
grown to become a global leader in social compliance and a trusted independent supply chain
partner for dozens of companies around the world. Its comprehensive facility-based model has
made it the world’s largest independent social compliance certification program for the
apparel/footwear & sewn product sectors

II.HISTORY

WRAP was formed out of the desire to create an independent and objective body to help apparel
and footwear factories around the world verify that they are operating in compliance with local
laws and internationally-accepted standards of ethical workplace practices. We trace our origins
back to the mid-1990s when reports surfaced of sweatshop-like conditions in numerous apparel
factories around the world, including excessive working hours, unsafe conditions, and the denial
of several legally-mandated benefits to workers. Recognizing that such a scenario could
jeopardize the apparel industry as a whole, the American Apparel Manufacturers Association

1
(now the American Apparel and Footwear Association) moved to coordinate an industry
response to the issue. A task force was formed which received input from a variety of
stakeholders including brands, suppliers, NGOs, academia, and government officials. Based on
their findings, the task force recommended the creation of an independent third-party
organization free of government or corporate influence that could identify and reduce the
prevalence of sweatshop conditions in factories around the world. The first Board of Directors
was named in 1999 and WRAP was officially incorporated in 2000.

Recognizing that the program’s credibility depends on ensuring objectivity, WRAP is

specifically organized to be independent – both financially and in terms of governance – of the
apparel industry. This starts with the make-up of its independent Board of Directors. Although
the apparel industry is represented on the Board to provide insight and perspective, by charter the
majority of the Board is comprised of individuals not affiliated with the industry. Further,
structurally, WRAP is not set up as a membership organization (yet, despite receiving no income
from dues, memberships or government grants, WRAP is financially sound, with its revenue
being generated entirely through facility registration fees and training revenues).

Today, WRAP has grown to become a global leader in social compliance and a trusted
independent supply chain partner for dozens of companies around the world. Its comprehensive
facility-based model has made it the world’s largest independent social compliance certification
program for the apparel/textile industry (according to a 2010 UNIDO Study, Making Private
Standards Work For You, WRAP is the “standard most often cited” for social compliance
certification in the textile sector). There are currently over 2,200 WRAP-certified facilities found
throughout the world employing over 2 million workers.

IV.WRAP’S 12 PRINCIPLES

The WRAP Principles are based on generally accepted international workplace standards, local
laws and workplace regulations, and include the spirit or language of relevant conventions of the
International Labor Organization (ILO). The Principles encompass human resources
management, health and safety, environmental practices, and legal compliance including
import/export and customs compliance and security standards.

The WRAP Certification Program’s objective is to independently monitor and certify

compliance with these standards, to ensure that sewn products are being produced under lawful,
humane and ethical conditions. Participating facilities voluntarily commit to ensuring that their
manufacturing practices will meet these standards, and further commit to passing along, on their
part, the expectation that their contractors and suppliers likewise comply with these standards.

1. Compliance with Laws and Workplace Regulations

Facilities will comply with laws and regulations in all locations where they conduct business.

All facilities will comply with the legal requirements and standards of their industry under the
local and national laws of the jurisdictions in which the facilities are doing business, along with
any applicable international laws. This will cover all labor and employment laws of those
jurisdictions, as well as laws governing the conduct of business in general, including rules and
standards of ethics dealing with corruption and transparency, and any relevant environmental
laws.

3
2. Prohibition of Forced Labor
Facilities will not use involuntary, forced or trafficked labor.
Facilities will maintain employment strictly on a voluntary basis. Facilities will not use any
forced, prison, indentured, bonded or trafficked labor. This will include ensuring that any
workers they hire will be under labor contracts that fully comply with all relevant legal
requirements and do not impose any form of coercion (including imposing substantial fines or
loss of residency papers by workers leaving employment or restricting a worker’s ability to
voluntarily end his/her employment). In addition, when hiring workers through an employment
broker or agency, facilities will ensure that the workers’ passports are not withheld, all written
contracts are in the native language of the workers, and recruitment fees are not borne by the
workers themselves.

3. Prohibition of Child Labor

Facilities will not hire any employee under the age of 14 or under the minimum age established
by law for employment, whichever is greater, or any employee whose employment would
interfere with compulsory schooling.
Facilities will ensure they do not engage in any form of child labor, including, but not limited to,
the internationally recognized worst forms of child labor. Facilities may not employ any person
at an age younger than the law of the jurisdiction allows and in any case not below the age of
14, even if permitted by local law. In addition, facilities will adhere to local legal requirements
regarding mandatory schooling. Further, if, where permitted by local law, a facility employs
young workers (defined as workers whose age is between the minimum age of employment and
18 years), the facility will also comply with any applicable legal restrictions on the nature and
volume of work performed by such young workers, as well as any other requirements imposed by
law, including ensuring that such young workers do not perform any hazardous work (e.g.,
chemical handling or operating heavy machinery).

4. Prohibition of Harassment or Abuse

Facilities will provide a work environment free of supervisory or co-worker harassment or abuse,
and free of corporal punishment in any form.
Facilities will ensure a workplace that is respectful of a worker’s rights and dignity. This
includes ensuring that no corporal punishment or physical coercion be used. Facilities will not
engage in or tolerate sexual harassment, indecent or threatening gestures, abusive tone or
language or any other kind of undesired physical or verbal contact, such as bullying. In
particular, facilities will ensure proper training at all levels - including management,
supervisors and workers - to secure a workplace free of harassment or abuse.

4
5. Compensation and Benefits
Facilities will pay at least the minimum total compensation required by local law, including all
mandated wages, allowances & benefits.
Facilities will ensure proper compensation for their employees for all the work done, by
providing in a timely manner all the wages and benefits that are in compliance with the local
and national laws of the jurisdiction in which they are located. This will include any premiums
for overtime work or work done during holidays, as well as any other allowances or benefits,
including any mandatory social insurance, required by local law.

6. Hours of Work
Hours worked each day, and days worked each week, should not exceed the limitations of the
country’s law. Facilities will provide at least one day off in every seven-day period, except as
required to meet urgent business needs.
Facilities are required by local law to adhere to any limits set on regular working hours as well
as any limits set on overtime work. Long term participation in the WRAP Certification Program
is contingent upon meeting the limitations set by local law. WRAP recognizes that this can be a
particularly challenging requirement, especially when taking into account local enforcement
norms and customs. In light of this reality, WRAP will permit full compliance with local laws on
working hours to be achieved incrementally, provided that a given facility meets the following
conditions: is fully transparent about its working hours; ensures that those hours are all being
worked voluntarily, in conditions that protect worker safety and health; compensates all
employees in keeping with WRAP Principle 5; and shows improvement toward meeting the
working hours requirements from one audit to the next.

7. Prohibition of Discrimination
Facilities will employ, pay, promote, and terminate workers on the basis of their ability to do the
job, rather than on the basis of personal characteristics or beliefs.
Facilities will ensure that all terms and conditions of employment are based on an individual’s
ability to do the job, and not on the basis of any personal characteristics or beliefs. Facilities
will ensure that any employment decision - involving hiring, firing, assigning work, paying or
promoting - is made without discriminating against the employees on the basis of race, color,
national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, or other similar factors
(pregnancy, political opinion or affiliation, social status, etc.).

8. Health and Safety

Facilities will provide a safe and healthy work environment. Where residential housing is
provided for workers, facilities will provide safe and healthy housing.
Facilities will provide a safe, clean, healthy and productive workplace for their employees.
Facilities shall prioritize worker health and safety above all else, and proactively address any
safety issues that could arise. This will include a wide variety of requirements, such as, ensuring,

5
among other things, the availability of clean drinking water (at no charge to workers), adequate
medical resources, fire exits and safety equipment, well-lighted and comfortable workstations,
clean restrooms. Further, facilities shall adequately train all their workers on how to perform
their jobs safely

9. Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining

Facilities will recognize and respect the right of employees to exercise their lawful rights of free
association and collective bargaining.
Facilities will respect the freedom of each employee to choose for him- or her-self whether or not
to join a workers’ association. Facilities cannot discriminate against workers based on whether
or not they choose to associate. Both the facility and the workers shall ensure they conduct
themselves in accordance with all relevant laws in this regard. Facilities will ensure an effective
mechanism is in place to address any workplace grievances.

10. Environment
Facilities will comply with environmental rules, regulations and standards applicable to their
operations, and will observe environmentally conscious practices in all locations where they
operate.
Facilities will ensure compliance with all applicable legally mandated environmental standards,
and should demonstrate a commitment to protecting the environment by actively monitoring their
environmental practices. In particular, facilities will ensure proper waste management,
including monitoring the disposal of any waste material - whether solid, liquid or gaseous - to
ensure such disposal is done safely and in a manner consistent with all relevant laws.

11. Customs Compliance

Facilities will comply with applicable customs laws, and in particular, will establish and
maintain programs to comply with customs laws regarding illegal transshipment of finished
products.
Facilities will ensure that all merchandise is accurately marked or labeled in compliance with
all applicable laws. In addition, facilities will keep records for all materials and orders, as well
as maintain detailed production records.

12. Security
Facilities will maintain facility security procedures to guard against the introduction of non-
manifested cargo into outbound shipments (i.e. drugs, explosives biohazards and or other
contraband).
Facilities will ensure adequate controls are in place to safeguard against introduction of any
non-manifested cargo. In this regard, WRAP recognizes the United States Customs and Border

6
Protection (CBP)’s C-TPAT Guidelines for Foreign Manufacturers as a best practice program,
and has adopted those guidelines under this Principle.

V.WRAP FOR PRODUCTION FACILITIES

Social compliance is no longer a secondary concern for apparel buyers and brands. They are
serious about wanting to know that the facilities supplying them care about social responsibility.
Through our Certification and Training programs, WRAP can help your facility convey to
potential customers your commitment to responsible business practices.
CERTIFICATION-THE WRAP ADVANTAGE
Having a WRAP certification shows potential buyers that you are dedicated to ethical and
responsible business standards. It demonstrates that you obey the laws of your country, treat your
workers with dignity and respect, and are conscious of the impact your operation has on the
environment. The WRAP certificate is a recognized symbol of high social and ethical standards.
TRAINING-KNOWLEDGE IN ACTION
Training is critical to every aspect of a factory's operation, and social compliance is no
exception. WRAP's training program gives you practical ways to apply social compliance
concepts to your factory's day-to-day operations and ensure compliance with WRAP's 12
Principles. WRAP is recognized as an accredited training organization by the International
Register of Certificated Auditors (IRCA) and all of our courses are offered in a variety of
languages and locations.
Internal Auditor Course
This course is the perfect way to get started with Social Systems auditing and implementation.
Designed for those with a basic knowledge of auditing, this course provides an excellent
foundation for those looking to add social compliance auditing to their skillset or who implement
a compliance program within their own facilities.
Fire Safety Training Course
Our Fire Safety Training Course provides essential knowledge about an important topic in
garment sourcing. Topics covered include an analysis of how a fire starts and spreads within a
factory, steps to minimize fire risk, human behavior during a fire, and how to effectively respond
should a fire occur. Practical, interactive demonstrations are also included. The course is offered
in several languages and is tailored specifically for each country in which it is offered.

VI.WRAP FOR BRANDS AND BUYERS

The world may be getting smaller, but apparel supply chains continue to grow across borders and
span a wide range of local customs, legal systems, economic systems, and national traditions.
Monitoring a global supply chain for integrity requires significant commitments of resources
including time, money, and even people. WRAP can help maintain your supply chain's integrity
in an efficient and cost-effective way.

7
CERTIFICATION: CREATING A PATH TO SUPPLY CHAIN INTEGRITY
WRAP certification is recognized around the world as proof of social compliance in the apparel
industry. We only certify individual production units, which allow our auditors to get an "on the
ground" perspective of each factory's operations to ensure that they are maintaining compliant
practices. All certifications require periodic renewal depending on the level and all certified
factories are subject to unannounced follow-up visits during their certification periods.

VII.WRAP FOR THE PUBLIC

WRAP's goal is to make sure that manufacturing facilities operate in a safe, responsible, and
ethical way. Through our 12 Principles, we promote lawful, humane manufacturing in facilities
throughout the world via our Certification and Training programs. What sets us apart from other
similar social compliance programs is that we focus on the ground level of a supply chain.
WRAP only certifies individual facilities, not brands or ownership groups, which means that
each WRAP certified facility has undergone a thorough inspection by a WRAP auditor and is
subject to un-announced follow-up inspections.
The quality of our audits are crucial to WRAP's mission, all of our auditors receive thorough
training via our Lead Auditor Training Program. In addition, we also offer an Internal Auditor
Course that educates facility personnel at all levels, from workers to senior management, about
WRAP's social compliance requirements and how develop and maintain them within their
facilities. Our course offerings have also expanded throughout the years to meet the changing
needs of the garment sourcing community. The most notable of these is our Fire Safety
Awareness Course which was launched in 2011 in Bangladesh and has since expanded to several
other countries around the world
TRAINING

Knowledge is the first step to success in any social compliance program, and WRAP's footing on
that path is rock solid. All of our monitoring partners must undergo a thorough 5-day training
course that shows them how to spot objective indicators of a compliant facility and ensure that
the social systems implemented by that facility can stand up to WRAP's standards. For
production units, we offer a comprehensive Internal Auditor Course that shows them what it
means to be WRAP certified and teaches them how to turn social compliance principles into
everyday practices within their facilities. We are also very excited to offer a comprehensive Fire
Safety Awareness Course that focuses on minimizing fire risk

Courses Offered:

Internal Auditor Training

Our Internal Auditor Training Course is an ideal introduction to social compliance auditing. It is
intended for those who already have a basic knowledge of auditing and are looking to become
social compliance auditors within their organizations or those who are looking to begin a

8
compliance program within their own companies. This course is conducted by full-time,
experienced trainers and IRCA-registered social systems auditors with a wealth of practical
knowledge.

Lead Auditor Training

This course is intended for representatives of WRAP's Monitoring Partners who are seeking to
lead an audit team in auditing an organization's social compliance management systems against
the requirements of WRAP, conventions of the ILO, and local laws.

Fire Safety Training

WRAP's Fire Safety Training Course provides valuable information about the critical topic of
fire safety within garment factories. Students will gain essential safety knowledge and learn
practical techniques for minimizing fire risk and how to effectively respond should one occur.
The course is highly interactive and tailored specifically for each country that it is offered in

C-TPAT foreign manufacturing site security requirements one day awareness course
Foreign manufacturing site minimum security criteria are fundamentally designed to be the
building blocks for overseas production facilities to institute effective security practices designed
to optimize supply chain performance and mitigate the risk of loss, theft, and contraband
smuggling that could potentially introduce terrorists and implements of terrorism into the global
supply chain. The determination and scope of criminal elements targeting world commerce
through internal conspiracies requires companies, and particularly foreign manufacturers, to
elevate their security practices.

IX.WRAP CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

WRAP is the world's largest independent certification program mainly focused on the apparel,
footwear, and sewn products sectors.
Becoming a WRAP certified facility involves much more than simply passing an audit. We take
a collaborative approach to social compliance certification in which we work with our facilities
to ensure that they remain in compliance with our 12 Principles. This does require, however, that
all of our facilities actively engage in the process themselves and see to it that effective
management systems are maintained to ensure compliance requirements are met.

THE CERTIFICATION PROCESS

1. Application
A production facility submits basic information to WRAP and pays a registration fee of US$1195.
Click here to submit an application

2. Pre-Audit Self-Assessment
Facilities complete a pre-audit self-assessment of their facility to show that they
have been utilizing socially-compliant practices for a minimum of 90 days (for new facilities; facilities
seeking re-certification are expected to have been compliant throughout their preceding certification period).
We offer the following resources for facilities to use during their Pre-Audit Self-Assessment:

Pre-Audit Handbook Risk Assessment Working Hours

Self-Assessment English English Action Plan
English (Updated 1/19) 中文 Español English (Updated 4/19)
Español (Updated 7/25/18) 中文
中文 (Updated 7/18)

3. Monitoring
After submitting their pre-audit self-assessment, the facility selects a WRAP-accredited monitoring
organization to audit the facility against WRAP's 12 Principles. The audit must be successfully passed within
6 months of paying the registration fee to avoid having to re-register.

11
Click here to see WRAP's list of accredited monitors

4. Evaluation
WRAP will review the monitor's audit report and decide whether or not to certify the facility. If WRAP
decides not to issue a certification, the facility will be notified of the corrections that need to be made and the
monitoring firm will conduct an additional inspection. If the facility does not satisfactorily implement the
recommendations within the original six-month period, it must pay the registration fee again.

5. Certification
There are three levels of WRAP certification – Platinum, Gold and Silver. The certificate issued to a facility
is determined by WRAP and depends on the extent to which the audit indicates full compliance and
management commitment to the WRAP Principles.
*All certified facilities are subject to random, unannounced
Post-Certification Audits during their certification period.

CERTIFICATION LEVELS

PLATINUM (Valid for 2 years)

Platinum certifications are awarded to facilities that have demonstrated full compliance with
WRAP's 12 Principles for 3 consecutive certification audits. Platinum facilities must successfully
pass every audit with no corrective actions or observations and maintain continuous certification
with no gaps between certification periods.

GOLD (Valid for 1 year)

Gold certification is the standard WRAP certification level, awarded to facilities that
demonstrate full compliance with WRAP's 12 Principles.

SILVER (Valid for 6 months)

A facility may request a Silver certificate if an audit finds it to be in substantial compliance with
WRAP's 12 Principles, but identifies minor non-compliances in policies, procedures, or training
that must be addressed. Facilities may not have any "red flag" non-compliances (including child
labor; serious health, safety, or environmental issues; prison, forced, or involuntary labor; or
harassment or abuse of employees) and must demonstrate that employees are paid at least the
legal minimum wage and any required overtime compensation. Facilities seeking Silver
certificates must request them in writing from WRAP's headquarters, submitting a corrective
action plan that includes any evidence of remediation along with the request. The WRAP Review
Board may also recommend a Silver certificate if a facility has demonstrated difficulty in
achieving full compliance or has other risk factors that may prevent it from sustaining
compliance for the full duration of a Gold certificate. All Silver-certified facilities are eligible to
renew their WRAP registration at a reduced fee of US$895, provided they reapply prior to the
expiration of their certificate. A facility may be awarded no more than 3 consecutive Silver

12
certificates.
WRAP charges a registration fee of US$1195 for new facilities seeking certification as well as
for Platinum and Gold-certified facilities seeking renewals (Silver-certified facilities seeking
renewal are charged a reduced registration fee of US$895). This fee does not include the price of
the audit which is set by the individual monitoring firms and paid directly to them by the facility
seeking certification. It can take as little as 6 weeks to get certified but can take anywhere from
2-6 months, or in rare cases even longer, from the time an application is submitted for a
certification to be granted

WRAP'S DECERTIFICATION POLICY

WRAP certified facilities must fully comply with WRAP’s 12 Principles during their
certification period or they may be subject to decertification. A facility may be decertified under
the following circumstances:
• Violations involving Zero Tolerance issues (see below)
• Failure to allow auditors to conduct a Post-Certification Audit (PCA)
• Refusal to go through a remediation process to correct non-compliances found
during a PCA
• Failure to correct non-compliances found during a PCA in a timely manner

13
WRAP'S ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY
If at any time WRAP learns that any factory in the WRAP program is actively participating in or
associated with any of the below Zero Tolerance issues, the factory will be automatically
decertified (if applicable) and banned from the WRAP program in all capacities without the
option to return nor be certified in the future.
• Deliberate and ongoing human rights violations including:
○ Child labor, including the worst forms of child labor (slavery, forced labor, trafficking,
serfdom, debt bondage, prostitution, pornography, work that involves children in illicit activity,
or work that is likely to harm the child physically or morally)
○ Forced labor (bonded labor, not allowing workers to leave at their own will,
forced to work overtime)
○ Inhumane treatment (use of threats of physical harm or extreme intimidation, corporal punishment,
mental or physical coercion)
• Unethical actions that encourage the auditor(s) to compromise their integrity
• Threatening physical harm towards the audit team
• False representation of certificate or audit report (i.e. altered or fake certificates or reports)
• False representation of production processes (i.e. hiding full/partial production
floors and/or processes from auditor)

X.CONCLUSION
WRAP is a fool-proof way of ensuring that the fashion production cycle remains transparent
while benefitting all its stakeholders. It leads the way by promoting safe, lawful, humane and
ethical manufacturing around the world through certification and education.
