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.
From the Partners
WRAP Certification
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.

Note that accessing the full data will typically require membership or a subscription with the partner. The amount of data visible on OS Hub varies by partner, depending on data sensitivity, ownership structure, and business model.
These two sections reflect different types of connections to OS Hub. The Spotlight data section shows data from formal integration partners who share custom data with OS Hub through a dedicated agreement. The Supply Chain Network section shows organizations that contribute facility data to OS Hub through the standard upload process. An organization can appear in one or both sections depending on how they are connected to OS Hub.
