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.

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.

iso 34101 series 'sustainable and traceable cocoa': medium level the iso 34101 series specifies requirements for the sustainable production of cocoa beans, for traceability of sustainably produced cocoa and for the scheme for certifying sustainable and traceable cocoa. the stepwise approach of the iso 34101 series comprises three requirement levels: entry, medium and high. an organization that is sustainably producing cocoa beans can apply for initial certification to any level and will then be on a path towards a higher level until the high level is reached. the path from entry level to medium level can take up to 60 months. the path from medium level to high level can take up to 60 months. an organization shall not remain more than 60 months in either entry or medium levels. for sampling and quality requirements of cocoa beans references are made to iso 2451 and iso 2292. access iso webstore here: https://www.iso.org/store.html

proterra mrv the proterra mrv standard provides a systematic approach to assessing and verifying an organisation’s due diligence practices and supports reporting on supply chain due diligence and deforestation-free aspects. it is based on the verification of a company’s management system compliance with sustainability requirements associated with its supply chain through independent third-party audits. the proterra mrv standard defines a verification of the economic operator´s management system associated with the supply chain of agricultural commodities and related products. the objective is to verify whether the economic operator adequately manages its supply chain to ensure that it is sustainable and free from deforestation. the proterra mrv standard, therefore, assesses the economic operator´s purchasing practices, contracts and suppliers’ performance in terms of sustainability, among other issues.

safe quality food program sqfi has created a quality program for those sites who desire to go above and beyond food safety. the quality program is designed to monitor and control food quality related threats. this program is most suited for sites who have already implemented a successful, robust sqf food safety plan. additionally, the sqf quality program can be implemented in tandem with the sqf food safety program. the sqf quality code uses the codex haccp method to identify and control quality threats, and addresses process controls to monitor product quality, identify deviations from control parameters and define corrections necessary to keep processes under control. the sqf quality code is applicable for all sectors of the food supply chain from primary production through to food retailing and the manufacture of food packaging. the sqf quality code builds on the system elements defined in the various sqf food safety codes. sites seeking to attain certification to the sqf quality code shall first be certified to the applicable sqf food safety code for their industry sector.

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.
