Perspectives

WRAP for production FacilitiesWRAP for Brands & BuyersWRAP for The Public

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.

WRAP for Brands & 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 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 through inspection by a WRAP auditor and is subject to un-announced follow-up inspections.

History of WRAPWARP was formed out of the desire to create an

independent and objective body to help apparel and footware factories around the world verify that they are operating in compliance with local laws and internationally-accepted standards of etical workplace practices. we trace our origins back to the mid 1990 s 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.

Today WARP has grown to become a global leader in social compliance and a trusted independent supply chain partner for dozens of companies around the world. It's comprehensive facility-based model has made it the world's largest independent social compliance certification program for the apparel/industry , In 2013 alone, over 2300 facilities from 50 countries participated,and there are currently around 1900 WRAP-certified facilities, found throughout the world, employing over 1.65 million workers.

CONCLUSIONWorldwide responsible apparel production

influences the design of everyday items, such as textiles, and is helping to transform how we buy, use and dispose of these goods, especially clothing. It gives guidance on how to communicate textile services to the public. WRAP is also able to offer support to local partnership organizations who want to collect more textiles.
