MAC member WRAP ID : 18283 , NEWMAC WRAP ID:19451 , Becoming a WRAP certified facility involves much more than simply passing an audit. We take a collaborative approach to social compliance certification in which we work with our facilities to ensure that they remain in compliance with our 12 Principles. This does require, however, that all of our facilities actively engage in the process themselves and see to it that effective management systems are maintained to ensure compliance requirements are met. The WRAP Principles are based on generally accepted international workplace standards, local laws and workplace regulations, and include the spirit or language of relevant conventions of the International Labor Organization (ILO). The Principles encompass human resources management, health and safety, environmental practices, and legal compliance including import/export and customs compliance and security standards. The WRAP Certification Program’s objective is to independently monitor and certify compliance with these standards, to ensure that sewn products are being produced under lawful, humane and ethical conditions. Participating facilities voluntarily commit to ensuring that their manufacturing practices will meet these standards, and further commit to passing along, on their part, the expectation that their contractors and suppliers likewise comply with these standards.

Brands and international buyers are demanding more effective measures for evaluating suppliers’ workplace conditions. Factories are also becoming more proactive in finding ways to benchmark themselves and track progress against competitors and national standards. We have seen a significant shift towards greater transparency and the implementation of sophisticated, yet practical, tools for assessing continuous improvement. The Workplace Conditions Assessment (WCA) program provides a powerful, cost-effective solution for companies and facilities seeking to improve workplace conditions efficiently and in accordance with widely accepted industry standards and best practices. Anchored in Intertek’s extensive social compliance expertise, WCA has emerged as a powerful tool for evaluating, benchmarking and continuously improving supplier workplace conditions. The program is supported by a web-based platform that automates and streamlines the audit process, increasing efficiencies for all supply chain partners.

MAC is a member of Better Work Program under ID:29594 & have BW audit reports& uploading on BW platform

Finance Corporation (IFC). It was launched in August 2006 in order to improve labour standards and competitiveness in global supply chains. The programme assists enterprises improve practices based on core ILO labour standards and national labour law. It does this with a strong emphasis on improving worker-management cooperation, working conditions and social dialogue. Enhancing respect for labour standards helps enterprises meet the social compliance demands of global buyers, improves conditions for workers, and helps firms become more competitive by increasing productivity and quality. Better Work focuses on labour intensive industries having large numbers of vulnerable workers in developing countries, such as agribusiness, apparel, construction, and light manufacturing. The programme is developing both global tools and country level projects.

ISO 28000, the supply chain security management system standard, developed in response to industry demand from the transport and logistics industry, aims to improve the overall security of supply chains. The requirements for ISO 28000 include all critical aspects for supply chain security assurance. Some examples include: financing, manufacturing, information management, and the facilities for packing, storing and transferring goods between vehicles and locations. Security management is linked to many other aspects of business management. These should be considered directly, when and where they impact security management, including transporting goods through the supply chain.

Following the events of September 11, 2001, governments and customs organizations around the world have implemented new supply chain security standards. The enhanced supply chain security standards and criteria, including C-TPAT, PIP and AEO, have been embraced and implemented by the global trade community. They aim to secure trade, protect against terrorist acts, and to combat illegal trafficking. As part of enforcing and adhering to the international supply chain security standards, companies must assess their supply chain to identify, mitigate and eliminate potential security risks. So
Global Security Verification (GSV) programme employs a cutting-edge methodology for promoting best practices throughout the global trade industry, enabling importers and suppliers to mitigate risks associated with the cross-border transport of goods, while simultaneously expediting their arrival at destination markets. Best practices are achieved through the effective utilisation of resources, structured processes and innovation. GSV integrates multiple global supply chain security initiatives, including C-TPAT, PIP and AEO. Our mission is to partner with international suppliers and importers to drive the development of a global security verification process, resulting in increased safety assurance, risk control, efficiency and cost savings for all participants. Benefits of GSV for your organization: •Enables importers and suppliers to leverage efforts through a common industry platform and collaboration •Delivers effective data gathering, analysis and reporting capabilities that allow for risk mitigation and more informed decision making for all supply chain partners •Reduces audit fatigue by enabling suppliers to share their verification reports with various importers, allowing them to prioritise resources towards learning and continuous improvement versus repeat auditing •Employs a consistent scoring methodology across all players that is combined with the use of automated auditor tools to provide increased audit efficiency, consistency and better reporting capabilities .

- SCAN is One of the most common complaints made by the international supplier base is the repetition of Supply Chain Security audits. This common complaint brought multiple industry leaders together in September 2014 to identify a strategy that would help reduce the cost and number of supply chain security audits conducted on global suppliers and factories each year. This collaboration led to the creation of a single agreed-upon security audit and sharing platform that would allow importers to conduct and evaluate shared CTPAT compliant supplier and factory security audits.

- The Supplier Compliance Audit Network (SCAN) was developed to facilitate this strategy and establish an audit sharing platform that would help improve audit consistency, lower audit costs, and reduce audit frequency while maintaining confidentiality. Both US Customs and the CTPAT organization have been introduced to SCAN and have acknowledged the potential benefits of the program.
SCAN is comprised of a diverse group of importers both big and small. Member companies may be competitors in the market, but partners in the efforts to improve supply chain security.
Member companies may be competitors in the market, but partners in the efforts to improve supply chain security.
SCAN is committed to creating a shared supply chain security audit program.
SCAN will benefit both the member companies and the global suppliers who participate through fewer audits conducted and increased consistency among supply chain security expectations. This collaboration will lead to lower costs of goods for both parties.

-What does the OEKO-TEX® label mean on our MAC products ?
If a textile article carries the STANDARD 100 label, you can be certain that every component of this article, i.e. every thread, button and other accessories, has been tested for harmful substances and that the article therefore is harmless in human ecological terms. The test is conducted by our independent OEKO-TEX® partner institutes on the basis of our extensive OEKO-TEX® criteria catalog. In the test they take into account numerous regulated and non-regulated substances, which may be harmful to human health. In many cases the limit values for the STANDARD 100 go beyond national and international requirements. The criteria catalog is updated at least once a year and expanded with new scientific knowledge or statutory requirements. It is not easy for manufacturers and customers to keep an overview of the legal situation concerning harmful substances every day
