▌ SLCP Social and Labor Integration Project

SLCP (Social and Labor Convergence Project) is a program that emphasizes multi-party participation and collaboration. It replaces the existing industry-specific assessment tools by implementing an effective integrated assessment framework (CAF), thereby avoiding duplication and reducing the number of social labor audits, and providing support to stakeholders in improving working conditions in the global apparel and footwear supply chain. It takes an average of 2-3 months to complete the SLCP assessment and verification, depending on the experience of the participants and the schedule of the verifier.

SLCP integrated assessment framework includes three elements

Data Collection and Verification Tool - collects and verifies data on social and labor conditions in factories

Validation Protocol - explains how to understand and answer questions in the tool

Verifier Guide - To support Verifiers during the verification process
