The Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) is a multi-stakeholder initiative. The Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) was developed for and by our Signatories, which include brands, manufacturers, non-profit organizations, audit firms, and others. SLCP Signatories are organizations that support SLCP's mission and vision and actively contribute to achieving it. Their commitments are set out in the Signatory Charter.
What is an SLCP Signatory?
Signatories are organizations that have formally committed to supporting SLCP's mission to create decent working conditions in global supply chains. By becoming a Signatory, your organization joins a diverse global community of brands, manufacturers, and other stakeholders working together to reduce audit fatigue and improve social compliance data across supply chains. You can find a full list of current Signatories on the SLCP website.
Do you need to be a Signatory to use the CAF?
No. It is not necessary to be an SLCP Signatory to implement the CAF. The CAF is available to all parties through Accredited Hosts (AHs). However, there are clear benefits to becoming a Signatory, which are outlined in the next section.
