Seminar on Enabling Competitiveness in Apparel Sector and Launch of Compendium for Good Management Practices-30th August, 2019
 
 
 

The Social and Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) has developed a Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) that seeks to support stakeholders’ efforts to improve working conditions in global supply chains. The CAF consists of a Data Collection Tool, Verification Protocol and Verifier Guidance, and intends to combat audit fatigue and free up resources for improvement. This is achieved by replacing the need for audits by delivering one verified set of social and labor data that can be used by standards and brands to decide on certification, compliance and more.

AEPC and Marks & Spencers, India had signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 3^rd January, 2019 towards providing outreach support to project POWER (Providing Opportunities to Women with Equal Rights) to promote Gender Equality in the Indian apparel industry workplaces. Under this Project POWER, a very well structured program, led by Marks & Spencers, India, will be implemented by Change Alliance and Swasti Health Catalyst.
