SOCIAL & LABOR CONVERGENCE PROGRAM

SLCP Standard

The Social & Labor Convergence Program (SCLP) is a new initiative designed to simplify the auditing of labour standards in apparel and footwear facilities. SLCP consists of Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) and SLCP Gateway, a web-based centralized repository for hosting and sharing of verified assessments. The major benefit of the SLCP is that companies who have been verified do not need to be assessed multiple times by different bodies. Instead, they can spend their time and resources on improving labour conditions.
