Prohibition of Forced Labor
Prohibition of Child Labor
Prohibition of Harassment or Abuse
Compensation and Benefits
Hours of Work
Prohibition of Discrimination
Health and Safety
Freedom of Association and Collective Bargaining

What are the benefits of a WRAP certification?
A WRAP certification provides several benefits for both manufacturers and buyers in the apparel, footwear, and sewn goods industries.
For manufacturers, WRAP certification can help improve working conditions, reduce risks, and boost employee morale. For buyers, a WRAP certification provides assurance that the products they are purchasing were produced in a socially responsible and ethical manner. It also helps reduce supply chain risks and enhances brand reputation by demonstrating a commitment to responsible sourcing.
In addition to its comprehensive assessment of ethical and responsible manufacturing, WRAP also includes the requirements of a C-TPAT security audit. This allows manufacturers who obtain a WRAP certification to sell to brands and retailers in the US without needing to undergo an additional audit.
