GRASP Add-on

GRASP stands for GLOBALG.A.P. Risk Assessment on Social Practice. It is a supplementary assessment to GLOBALG.A.P. focused on social practices on farms and in agri-food businesses. GRASP is not a standalone certification and is applied only alongside an active GLOBALG.A.P. certification.

The aim of GRASP is to assess whether the farm applies core requirements related to workers, labour relations, working conditions and responsible social practices. It is especially important for producers, producer groups and exporters employing seasonal or hired workers.

What GRASP assesses

Worker representation
Complaint mechanism
Employment contracts or equivalent evidence
Working hours
Remuneration
Attendance records
Workers informed of their rights
Non-discrimination
Protection of minors
Core social and labour principles

Where GRASP is needed

Who it is for

GRASP is needed when a buyer, retail chain or exporter requires proof of social responsibility at farm level. It is particularly important for fruit and vegetables, seasonal employment, producer groups and supplies to international markets.
