WRAP and the wider community

Promoting safe, lawful and humane manufacturing

WRAP promotes safe, responsible and ethical manufacturing through its 12 Principles and facility certification programme. Certification applies to individual production sites, not brands or ownership groups. Certified sites undergo assessment through WRAP-accredited monitoring arrangements and may face unannounced follow-up visits. ITVC supports consulting and training to help facilities implement responsible practices; it does not make WRAP certification decisions.

Building capability at the facility

Audit quality is central to WRAP’s programme, and its monitoring professionals must meet applicable training and qualification requirements. Separately, ITVC’s internal auditor training helps personnel, from operational staff to managers, understand social compliance requirements and develop and maintain an effective system. Training content can be adapted as responsible sourcing needs change.
