GRASP

What is GRASP?

Good agricultural practices aren’t just about products; they are also about people. The GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice. It is a voluntary, farm-level social/labor management tool for global supply chains, to be used in combination with Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA).

How it works

  • Producers can assess, improve, and demonstrate their responsible social practices through a simple but robust evaluation checklist of four main topics: Workers’ voice, human and labor rights information, human and labor rights indicators, and child and young workers protection.
  • The assessment is carried out simultaneously with an IFA audit in order to minimize the audit burden (time and costs) for producers.
  • Evidence methods are determined by the country risk classification in order to balance efficiency and flexibility.
  • Evaluation is complemented by national interpretation guidelines of local legislation to help assessors and producers to understand local compliance systems.
  • GRASP covers the main topics of the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the International Labour Organization (ILO)’s core labor conventions
