WHAT IS THAT
It is a standard for social good practice inspections .
It can be voluntarily applied only to companies already in possession of the GLOBALG.A.P. -IFA certification (e.g. fruit and vegetables, flowers).The new GRASP module integrates what is already present in the GLOBALG.A.P. IFA standard regarding workers' health and safety, focusing on the assessment of basic indicators on potential social risks at farm level .
The GRASP module is a voluntary tool, therefore there are no mandatory minimum compliance levels . In the event that full compliance has not been achieved at the conclusion of the audit, GLOBALG.A.P. recommends the development of an action plan aimed at continuous improvement, but taking into consideration the identified risks, possibilities and resources of the company.
The GRASP audit is carried out by specially trained and qualified auditors ; the checklist to be applied, complete with detailed interpretations, is freely downloadable from the official GLOBALG.A.P. website
The GRASP module is applicable to individual farms but also, with the application of specific additional requirements, to producer groups .
