Factory formally joins the Green Pakistan Project by submitting its application and confirms its willingness to participate and follow the structured sustainability improvement process in alignments with EU Green Deal, LkSG, and international due diligence principles.

The factory submits its Baseline & Declaration to present a clear picture of its current labour, environmental, and health & safety practices. This assessment captures key operational information, legal compliance, and existing management systems for the Green Pakistan Project Panel to evaluate present conditions and identify priority areas for improvement. By submitting the declaration, the factory confirms the accuracy of the information and shows its commitment to responsible and transparent operations.

A formal visit is conducted by Green Pakistan Advisory panel along with the association team to validate the baseline information submitted. During this visit, actual factory practices are reviewed, gaps are identified, and the team provides practical guidance on how to meet international sustainability expectations.

The data including workforce details, safety conditions, environmental metrics, and production information is entered into the Umbertine software which works on SocialFair 2030 Approach. This helps to evaluate the standardized KPIs and forms the analytical basis for the factory’s Sustainability Report.

After completing data entry on the Umbertine platform, the factory prepares its first Sustainability Report (Draft). This draft report was shared with the Green Pakistan Advisory Panel for a detailed review. The objective of this review was to obtain expert feedback, validate the reported data and receive guidance for strengthening the report in line with international sustainability and due-diligence expectations.

After receiving structured feedback from Green Pakistan Project Panel, the factory incorporates the feedback and submits the revised version. This step ensures accuracy, completeness, alignment with international frameworks and readiness for final verification.

The final approved report showcases the factory’s sustainability performance, verified data, and improvement roadmap. This marks the completion of GPP’s reporting cycle and represents the factory’s official compliance achievement under the initiative.

During this stage, the FOS Digital Grievance Management System was deployed through on-ground factory visits aimed at creating awareness among workers. The workers were informed about the purpose of the system and guided on how to submit their complaints and suggestions effectively. Detailed information was shared regarding the available channels for contacting FOS, along with clear explanations of complaint handling timelines and response mechanisms. Interactive awareness sessions were conducted to encourage participation and build trust in the system. Additionally, surveys and feedback activities were carried out to assess workers’ understanding and to gather valuable inputs for continuous improvement of the grievance management process.
