Global GAP y su complemento GRASP: filosofía de responsabilidad social empresarial del sector agroalimentario.

Abstract

Global GAP is considered a world standard for Good Agricultural Practices, adding in its last years due to market demands an additional complement to its regulations, it is known as GRASP (Risk Assessment for Social Practices), which assess specific issues such as health, safety and welfare of workers. The objective of this article is to identify the incidence of the application of the Global GAP regulations and their GRASP complement in the fulfillment of the Corporate Social Responsibility philosophy for the integration of sustainability of the Agri-food sector. A research instrument based on 13 key indicators was applied that allowed the analysis of the perception of 384 workers or workers regarding regulations that combine both compliance with the norm and the corporate social responsibility. The results demonstrate the commitment of the Agri-food sector to improve the conditions and quality of life of workers following their certification, allowing themselves to create sustainability and be part of an international market.
