Social & Labor Convergence Project

The Social & Labor Convergence Program provides the tools to capture accurate data about working conditions in global supply chains. This multi-stakeholder initiative replaces the need for repetitive social audits by facilitating data sharing. The Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) is a tool to measure working conditions in facilities developed by SLCP signatories. It consists of a Data Collection Tool, verification methodology, and guidance documents. The CAF results in a high-quality verified data set that has no value-judgment or scoring. SLCP built a system to support the implementation of the CAF. This includes the Accredited Hosts (AH), existing service providers that can help interpret and score data, map data to Codes of Conduct and formulate action plans.
