The Social and Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) developed a Convergence Assessment Framework (CAF), aiming to improve working conditions in global supply chains by eliminating the need for multiple social compliance audits. The CAF can reduce the need for current audit methodologies by delivering one verified data set that can be used by standards and brands.
 
The SLCP Verification Process provides the following benefits:-
 
• Address audit fatigue by reducing the number of social audits.
• Deeper dive to measure employment practices, thus improve working conditions & employee relations.
• Redeploy resources towards improvement actions.
• Foster trust and collaboration through the SLCP Verification Process. 
 
About SLCP
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. To ensure quality implementation of the framework and reliable data for the industry, a system has been developed serving the following functions:
 
• Data collection at a facility level
• Verification of collected data
• Hosting and sharing of verified data to end users
 
Kindly note that major brands have signed up for this programme.
