Social Compliance & Product Assurance for Textile Exporters
WRAP, OEKO-TEX, GOTS, GRS and SMETA readiness, factory safety, and buyer social-compliance audits for garment and textile manufacturers.
Overview
Global apparel brands buy from factories they can trust — and they verify that trust through social compliance audits, chemical restrictions, and product testing. We prepare textile and garment manufacturers to pass those checks and keep them passing.
Our work covers the audit side (WRAP, SMETA, buyer codes of conduct), the product side (OEKO-TEX and restricted substances readiness), and the sustainability side (GOTS and GRS chain-of-custody documentation) — plus the workplace safety programmes that keep workers protected.
Social compliance certifications (WRAP) and product labels (OEKO-TEX, GOTS, GRS) are issued by their respective independent bodies. We provide audit readiness and system support — not certification.
