Factory Sustainability Journey
Complete breakdown of verification stages
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 alignement with EU Green Deal, LkSG, and international due diligence principles.
The factory submits its Baseline & Declaration to present a clear picture of the 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.



After the factory completed its initial data entry in the Umbertine platform, technical experts from German Importers Association, Fruit of Sustainability and the association team reviewed the submitted information. They identified gaps, inconsistencies, and areas requiring clarification, and provided precise feedback for correction. Based on this guidance, the factory’s data submission in Umbertine was reopened to allow revisions. The factory updated its entries accordingly to ensure accuracy and alignment before proceeding to the next stage.
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.
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.




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.
