The Social & Labor Convergence Program offers the tools and system to measure working conditions in global supply chains. This multi-stakeholder initiative includes data sharing and replaces the need for repetitive social audits.
What is the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP)?
SLCP is a multi-stakeholder initiative consisting of leading brands, manufacturers, civil society, audit firms and consultancies in the apparel & footwear sector. Collectively our signatories have developed and are implementing a Converged Assessment Framework to replace proprietary social audit tools with the aim of reducing audit fatigue and ultimately freeing up resources to improve working conditions. SLCP’s work is driven by a small staff – the Secretariat – who coordinate the collective efforts of the signatories and deliver the day-to-day operations of the program.
What do we do for SLCP?
To implement a Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) that supports stakeholders’ efforts to improve working conditions in global supply chains. Together, we can achieve a brighter future by means of sharing comparable and verified high-quality data that increases transparency and eliminates audit fatigue to free up and redeploy resources.
