THA Offers WRAP Certification Training Session
November 15, 2007
10:00 am – 2:00 pm
Hosiery Technology Center-- Hickory, NC

Product recall, sweatshops, waning consumer confidence…these are just a few of the phrases that are gracing our media outlets on a daily basis. All manufacturers are accountable for their global production practices to consumers, retailers, governments, and others. Several organizations are dedicated to setting manufacturing standards, particularly regarding human rights. WRAP is unique among apparently similar organizations because it combines all of the following important attributes: market-driven, commands high standards, independent from the industry, factory-based, eliminates duplication, and yields results

The Hosiery Association (THA) is working with Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production ® WRAP to offer its next educational training session on November 15 in Hickory, NC at the Hosiery Technology Center. Steve Jesseph, president and CEO of WRAP, will be the session leader. The objective of the Apparel Certification Program is to independently monitor and certify compliance with standards, ensuring that a given factory produces sewn goods under lawful, humane, and ethical conditions. WRAP monitors the factory for compliance with detailed practices and procedures implied by adherence to these standards.

Please note that there is no fee for members to attend these sessions. Attached is the registration form. Contact Sally Kay at 704-365-013, ext. 212 or email sally.kay@hosieryassociation.com if you have further questions about this event.
