Available Certification Schemes

Below are certification schemes that may help mitigate supply chain risks flagged in GMAP. The information below is drawn from International Trade Centre’s Sustainability Map. The scores of the 10 GMAP indicators per country-commodity combination are listed at the top of the page, followed by available certification schemes for that combination. On the left, view a description of the scheme. On the right, view the extent to which the scheme may help mitigate or cover the risks flagged in GMAP. To compare across up to three certification schemes, click the Select box under the relevant certification scheme names and click compare at the bottom of the screen.

The default view is by compatibility, where certification schemes that address the most identified risks are ranked higher. GMAP users can also view this information by indicator or search for certification schemes sorted alphabetically by name. A score of 80 or above is considered high risk. A higher risk score implies a higher probability of occurrence and severity of impact.

un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

wfto guarantee system the world fair trade organization (wfto) is a global network of organisations representing the fair trade supply chain. wfto is the home of fair traders: producers, marketers, exporters, importers, wholesalers and retailers that demonstrate 100% commitment to fair trade. the goal of the wfto is to enable small producers to improve their livelihoods and communities through sustainable fair trade. it does this by delivering market access through policy, advocacy, campaigning, marketing and monitoring. the wfto is a guardian of fair trade values. the wfto guarantee system is a credible, sustainable and robust assurance mechanism that fair trade is implemented in the supply chain and practices of an organisation. it is an accountability and development tool for organisations. members that passed the gs process attain the ‘guaranteed fair trade organisation’ status and may use the wfto label on their products. it is not a product certification system. the wfto fair trade standard is the heart of the guarantee system, focusing on the management and operation of fair trade organisations in relation to their fair trade practices. the wfto standard comprises a set of compliance criteria based on the 10 fair trade principles and international labour organisation (ilo) conventions. many of these criteria are mandatory requirements to join wfto. there are also other non-mandatory requirements, where wfto members must show continuous improvement over time. compliance with this standard will be assessed by various means, including the self-assessment report, the peer visit and the monitoring audit. these are described in the wfto guarantee system handbook. the standard is subject to periodic review and changes under the guidance of the wfto standard committee and the guarantee system committee. the gs was approved and implemented by the wfto membership in may 2013.

wfto guarantee system the world fair trade organization (wfto) is a global network of organisations representing the fair trade supply chain. wfto is the home of fair traders: producers, marketers, exporters, importers, wholesalers and retailers that demonstrate 100% commitment to fair trade. the goal of the wfto is to enable small producers to improve their livelihoods and communities through sustainable fair trade. it does this by delivering market access through policy, advocacy, campaigning, marketing and monitoring. the wfto is a guardian of fair trade values. the wfto guarantee system is a credible, sustainable and robust assurance mechanism that fair trade is implemented in the supply chain and practices of an organisation. it is an accountability and development tool for organisations. members that passed the gs process attain the ‘guaranteed fair trade organisation’ status and may use the wfto label on their products. it is not a product certification system. the wfto fair trade standard is the heart of the guarantee system, focusing on the management and operation of fair trade organisations in relation to their fair trade practices. the wfto standard comprises a set of compliance criteria based on the 10 fair trade principles and international labour organisation (ilo) conventions. many of these criteria are mandatory requirements to join wfto. there are also other non-mandatory requirements, where wfto members must show continuous improvement over time. compliance with this standard will be assessed by various means, including the self-assessment report, the peer visit and the monitoring audit. these are described in the wfto guarantee system handbook. the standard is subject to periodic review and changes under the guidance of the wfto standard committee and the guarantee system committee. the gs was approved and implemented by the wfto membership in may 2013.

    un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

    wfto guarantee system the world fair trade organization (wfto) is a global network of organisations representing the fair trade supply chain. wfto is the home of fair traders: producers, marketers, exporters, importers, wholesalers and retailers that demonstrate 100% commitment to fair trade. the goal of the wfto is to enable small producers to improve their livelihoods and communities through sustainable fair trade. it does this by delivering market access through policy, advocacy, campaigning, marketing and monitoring. the wfto is a guardian of fair trade values. the wfto guarantee system is a credible, sustainable and robust assurance mechanism that fair trade is implemented in the supply chain and practices of an organisation. it is an accountability and development tool for organisations. members that passed the gs process attain the ‘guaranteed fair trade organisation’ status and may use the wfto label on their products. it is not a product certification system. the wfto fair trade standard is the heart of the guarantee system, focusing on the management and operation of fair trade organisations in relation to their fair trade practices. the wfto standard comprises a set of compliance criteria based on the 10 fair trade principles and international labour organisation (ilo) conventions. many of these criteria are mandatory requirements to join wfto. there are also other non-mandatory requirements, where wfto members must show continuous improvement over time. compliance with this standard will be assessed by various means, including the self-assessment report, the peer visit and the monitoring audit. these are described in the wfto guarantee system handbook. the standard is subject to periodic review and changes under the guidance of the wfto standard committee and the guarantee system committee. the gs was approved and implemented by the wfto membership in may 2013.

    ethical trading initiative - eti * the eti base code is a code of labor practice, derived from the conventions of the ilo. * the code is generic, meaning that it is applicable for any type of company, in any place in the world. * companies can become members of eti, and as such they adopt the base code and commit to making sure their suppliers work towards full compliance over time. * the base code is mostly applied for managing labour practices in international supply chains. * eti does not certify companies or products against the code, and does not encourage others to do so. eti does require, though, that members demonstrate that they continuously work towards compliance and that they report openly on their progress to eti. * eti is a stakeholders governed organisation, having business, trade union and ngo's as it main stakeholders. companies, trade unions and ngo's can all become members. eti together with its members and other stakeholders develops implementation practices, and gives guidance on code implementation. * the code is internationally well recognised, and has served as a basis for other other initiatives and codes to build on.

    un guiding principles on business and human rights the "guiding principles on business and human rights: implementing the united nations ‘protect, respect and remedy’ framework" were endorsed by the human rights council in 2011. the guiding principles are founded on three pillars: 1. the state duty to protect human rights against abuse by third parties, including business, through appropriate policies, legislation, regulations and adjudication; 2. the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, meaning to act with due diligence to avoid infringing on the rights of others and address adverse impacts with which they are involved; 3. the need for greater access to effective remedy, both judicial and non-judicial, for victims of business-related human rights abuse. the steps defined in the guiding principles empower companies to know and show that they are advancing adequately in their efforts to meet this responsibility. the expectation that companies should know and show how they are progressing in their human rights performance has reinforced calls for more and better corporate reporting in this regard. https://www.ungpreporting.org/resources/the-ungps/

    wfto guarantee system the world fair trade organization (wfto) is a global network of organisations representing the fair trade supply chain. wfto is the home of fair traders: producers, marketers, exporters, importers, wholesalers and retailers that demonstrate 100% commitment to fair trade. the goal of the wfto is to enable small producers to improve their livelihoods and communities through sustainable fair trade. it does this by delivering market access through policy, advocacy, campaigning, marketing and monitoring. the wfto is a guardian of fair trade values. the wfto guarantee system is a credible, sustainable and robust assurance mechanism that fair trade is implemented in the supply chain and practices of an organisation. it is an accountability and development tool for organisations. members that passed the gs process attain the ‘guaranteed fair trade organisation’ status and may use the wfto label on their products. it is not a product certification system. the wfto fair trade standard is the heart of the guarantee system, focusing on the management and operation of fair trade organisations in relation to their fair trade practices. the wfto standard comprises a set of compliance criteria based on the 10 fair trade principles and international labour organisation (ilo) conventions. many of these criteria are mandatory requirements to join wfto. there are also other non-mandatory requirements, where wfto members must show continuous improvement over time. compliance with this standard will be assessed by various means, including the self-assessment report, the peer visit and the monitoring audit. these are described in the wfto guarantee system handbook. the standard is subject to periodic review and changes under the guidance of the wfto standard committee and the guarantee system committee. the gs was approved and implemented by the wfto membership in may 2013.
