Northshore Apparel GH LTD in Savelugu
Northshore Apparel Ghana LTD has been awarded Worldwide Responsible Accredited Production (WRAP) certification, marking a major step for the Savelugu based garment maker on the global stage.
The WRAP certificate is valid from June 12, 2026 to June 12, 2027 and follows a rigorous independent audit of the company’s full production operations.
The audit examined all key production areas at the Savelugu facility including fabric receiving, cutting, sewing, finishing, pressing, packing, quality control and dispatch, and confirmed compliance with WRAP’s 12 principles.
WRAP is the world’s largest independent certification programme for ethical manufacturing in apparel, footwear and sewn products; its standards cover lawful and humane labour practices, the prohibition of forced and child labour, freedom of association, workplace health and safety, fair compensation, responsible working hours, environmental responsibility, customs compliance and ethical business conduct.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Northshore Apparel GH LTD, Mohammed Nurideen, deducted the achievement to workers and the team at the company.
“This certification is independent confirmation of what our people deliver every day. It tells the world that garments made in Savelugu are made responsibly, made ethically, and made to compete anywhere on earth,” he said
According to him, Northshore positions itself as Ghana’s first regenerative, zero-waste apparel manufacturing hub and that its operating model combines garment production with environmental stewardship and inclusive employment, guided by a “three‑baobab” philosophy of People, Planet and Prosperity.
He said the WRAP certification verifies the company’s social compliance, workplace safety and environmental practices and provides international buyers confidence that products are produced to global standards.
Mr. Nurideen noted the company’s potential local impact with capacity to employ up to 10,000 workers adding that they aim to create opportunities for youth, women and persons with disabilities including members of the deaf community helping to address unemployment, economic vulnerability and rural‑urban migration in the north noting that the company’s workplace culture prioritises women’s empowerment, disability inclusion, worker welfare and occupational safety.
“The milestone is expected to strengthen Northshore’s appeal to international brands, sourcing companies, development partners and government institutions focused on responsible industrialisation and ethical supply chains. It also aligns the company with Ghana’s 24‑Hour Economy agenda: as an export oriented, shift‑capable manufacturer, Northshore could contribute to round‑the‑clock production, increased export earnings and local economic stimulation with appropriate policy and buyer partnerships,” he disclosed
The Northshore Apparel GH LTD CEO, is of the view that the WRAP certificate signals that world class, export‑ready manufacturing can be located outside Ghana’s traditional industrial centres.
“Northshore is ready to welcome current and prospective partners to its Savelugu facility as it expands its contribution to responsible manufacturing, inclusive employment and Ghana’s export‑led industrial development,” he said.
