OS Hub Spotlight: Certifications

Certifications

This section shows whether certification data is available for this production location through integrations with Spotlight Partners. Certifications are formal recognitions awarded to a production location that has met a defined set of standards or requirements, typically verified by an independent third party. They may cover a range of areas including environmental performance, social and labor practices, product quality, or management systems.

Where did this data come from?

OS Hub acts as a connector, surfacing where certification data exists and linking to the relevant partner platform that holds it. The presence of a data point here means that one or more OS Hub partners have certification information linked to this production location's OS ID. Each partner's data reflects their own methodology and scope.

This does not mean that these are the only certifications held by this production location. Let us know if you have certification data that you’d like to add.

How can you use this data?

There are many ways you might analyze or factor this information into your programs.

One common use case for this section is to understand whether a production location already holds certifications relevant to your sourcing or compliance requirements, helping you avoid duplicating verification efforts and identify facilities that already meet certain standards. Specific use cases include:

  • Identifying facilities that hold certifications relevant to your sourcing standards or customer requirements

  • Screening suppliers against certification requirements as part of your onboarding or due diligence process

  • Tracking certification coverage and expiry across your supply base

  • Supporting reporting under regulatory frameworks or voluntary sustainability commitments that recognize specific certifications

Note that accessing the full certification data will typically require membership or a subscription with the partner. Follow the link to the partner's website to find out more about access requirements. Even without full access, knowing that a certification exists can inform your supplier prioritization and support decisions about which platform partnerships are most relevant to your due diligence program.

Check out specific case studies from each of the partners below for additional inspiration.

Ethical Supply Chain Program certification

View Spotlight data

The Ethical Supply Chain Program (ESCP) was founded by the International Council of Toy Industries (ICTI), but now champions integrity and sustainability across a wide range of manufacturing sectors. We facilitate communication, certification and cooperation between manufacturers, suppliers and retailers in a worldwide network with transparency at its core. 

Data points

  • Type: The type of certification held by the facility (e.g. Social & EHS Audit).
  • Status: Whether a facility currently holds a valid ESCP certification.
  • Issue Date: The date on which the most recent audit was conducted at this facility.
  • Expiration Date: The date on which the facility's current certificate expires.

Methodology

ESCP applies a comprehensive, internationally aligned methodology to assess working conditions, ethical business practices, and responsible supply chain management at production facilities. Certification covers 14 critical areas including business ethics, employment practices, working hours, compensation, forced labor, discrimination, and environmental, health, and safety standards. Accredited third-party firms conduct on-site audits including document review, facility inspection, and confidential worker interviews. Where non-compliances are identified, facilities are supported to develop and implement corrective action plans addressing root causes and preventing recurrence. Certification is granted only after all corrective actions are implemented and verified; each case is reviewed by ESCP's Compliance & Capability Building team. Standards undergo regular review with input from the Technical Advisory Council.

WRAP Certification

View Spotlight data

Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) contributes facility certification data covering manufacturers in the apparel, footwear, and sewn products sectors across 50+ countries. This data enables buyers, brands, and retailers to identify certified production locations, verify compliance status, and make more informed responsible sourcing decisions.

Data points

  • Certification Status: Whether a facility currently holds a valid WRAP Certificate of Compliance.
  • Issue Date: The date on which the facility's current certificate is issued.
  • Expiration Date: The date on which the facility's current certificate expires.

Methodology

WRAP independently certifies production facilities against its 12 Principles covering labor practices, health and safety, environmental impact, and legal compliance—grounded in International Labour Organization conventions, the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and applicable local laws. Accredited third-party monitoring firms conduct on-site audits including document review, facility inspection, and confidential worker interviews. Certification is granted only after all corrective actions are implemented and verified, then reviewed by WRAP's independent review board. Standards undergo biennial review with input from the Monitors' Council and International Advisory Group.

Coverage

There are over 4,000 WRAP-certified facilities spanning more than 50 countries, primarily across the sewn products sector, with concentrations in South and Southeast Asia, Central America, and Africa.

Update frequency

WRAP shares current certification data with OS Hub on a quarterly basis as certificates are issued, renewed, or expire.
