Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP)

What is SLCP?

The Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) is a global, multi-stakeholder initiative created to reduce audit fatigue and improve working conditions across supply chains. With SLCP, facilities complete a single standardized assessment instead of undergoing multiple social and labor audits. This unified approach saves time, reduces costs, and enhances transparency across the industry.

How It Works – The Converged Assessment Framework (CAF)

The SLCP is built around its Converged Assessment Framework (CAF), which includes three essential components:

  1. Data Collection Tool – Facilities complete a comprehensive set of questions covering social and labor practices.

  2. Verification Protocol – SLCP-approved verifiers confirm the accuracy of the information provided.

  3. Secure Data Sharing – Verified data is securely shared with multiple stakeholders, including brands and buyers, through accredited hosting platforms.

This process ensures one verified set of data can be trusted and used across the supply chain

Benefits of SLCP Implementation

  • Eliminates Redundant Audits: Reduces the need for multiple brand-specific audits.

  • Saves Time and Resources: Allows companies to focus more on improvements instead of repeated assessments.

  • Credible & Transparent Data: Provides verified, industry-accepted information.

  • Global Recognition: Adopted by 15,000+ facilities in 120+ countries and accepted by over 100 global brands.
