For further verification, companies recognized by GoodWeave must adhere to unannounced inspections and visitations at all production facilities.

In addition, producers must undergo a separate annual audit, documenting their improvements against the Standard’s five progress principles: recognition of freedom of association, no discrimination, protection of worker’s health and safety, respected working hours, wages and benefits, and minimization of negative environmental impacts.
