SLCP INTEGRATION. SUPPLIER COMPLIANCE
The Social and Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) is a multi-stakeholder initiative behind the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) - one standardized social assessment, built to reduce the many overlapping audits the same factory faces today.

Assessed once, and shared. One verified assessment replaces repeat audits, freeing supplier time and budget for remediation.
Self-assessed, then independently verified. Facilities complete the assessment; an approved verifier confirms the data on site before it's shared.
Grounded in labour law. By collecting a comprehensive and credible set of social and labor data, the CAF determines compliance with international labor standards and national labor laws - providing the foundation necessary for robust human rights due diligence.
Facts without an opinion attached. SLCP does not provide scoring or value judgement on the assessment data. To support different user needs, SLCP works with approved technology partners such as TradeBeyond who provide services to analyse and interpret the data.
SLCP data flows into the TradeBeyond Supplier Compliance Platform, where your supplier audits are centralized and become one view for you to compare and act on.
Standardized audit data: The SLCP Converged Assessment Framework is an out-of-the-box assessment format. BSCI, WRAP, SMETA, and auditor-specific reports appear in the same structure, allowing you to compare suppliers side by side regardless of the assessment they have used.
Your scoring, your code of conduct: SLCP delivers verified data with no scoring attached. Apply your own scoring model or Code of Conduct, with zero-tolerance alerting that surfaces where action is needed first.
Due diligence from day one: SLCP assessments provide the foundational data needed to support human rights due diligence.
Compliance where the decisions happen: Assessment and audit status, expiry dates and CAPA progress connect to facilities, orders and production commitments - so gaps surface before they become a problem on a live order.
Verified assessment data lives on the SLCP Gateway, operated with the International Trade Centre, and feeds a growing ecosystem of hosts, brands and standards bodies.
TradeBeyond connects to SLCP as an accredited host, so verified assessments land directly in your supplier records. Your data stays portable, and your interpretation stays yours. If you already work with Worldly (Higg FSLM), or another host, you can still bring those assessments into the same reporting view.
