GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice (GRASP)

The GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice (GRASP) - was developed in a 5 years stakeholder consultation process with the kind support of GTZ, Coop, Edeka, Lidl, Metro AG, Migros.
 
GRASP is a voluntary module that complements GLOBALG.A.P. certification with an assessment of very basic worker welfare criteria. It is an add-on to the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA Standard. The results of the GRASP assessment are uploaded to the GLOBALG.A.P. Database and accessible for supply chain partners who have been granted access to the results. 
The outcome of the assessment does not affect the GLOBALG.A.P. certification but serves as additional information in the supply chain.

GRASP can only be implemented in countries where a GRASP National Interpretation Guideline has been developed by local multi stakeholder groups. 
If you are interested in developing such a guideline please contact the GLOBALG.A.P. Secretariat for support and guidance.
 
The below GRASP toolkit provides practical guidance on what a producer can do to promote good social practice in their operations.
