GLOBALG.A.P. GRASP Consulting for Social Practice Compliance

Baseline, Prioritize, Set Milestones: We assess maturity and buyer requirements to sequence GRASP actions by risk, impact, and delivery timelines.

Build a Phased Implementation Plan: We define actions, owners, timelines, and evidence deliverables so teams execute with zero ambiguity.

Support Execution and Readiness Checks: We coach key actions and verify closure so the formal assessment runs on controlled evidence.

Map Labour Flows and Risk Points: We document recruitment, contracting, timekeeping, payroll, and housing workflows to pinpoint control gaps.

Redesign Controls and Recordkeeping: We implement standardized forms, registers, and approvals that satisfy GLOBALG.A.P. GRASP evidence requirements.

Re-check, Validate, Build Confidence: We verify closure with a follow-up check so the official assessment runs smoothly.

Screen Site and Labour Model: We assess labour channels, subcontractors, housing, and legal context against GRASP expectations.

Define Baseline Controls and Evidence: We specify minimum policies, records, and training needed before onboarding buyers or assessors.

Build an Implementation Timeline: We deliver a staged plan with owners and resource needs to reach readiness without disruption.

Design Risk-Based Audit Plan: We define scope, frequency, and sampling methods based on labour risk and site complexity.

Train Auditors with Real Scenarios: We train auditors on interviewing, evidence review, and scoring aligned to GRASP requirements.

Deploy Tools, Checklists, Templates: We provide practical checklists and reporting formats that standardize audits across all locations.
