Once the assessment process is completed, your supplier will have an SLCP report to share. You can find out if your supplier has a report to share through an SLCP Accredited Host using the "Brand Assessment overview" feature or on the SLCP Gateway. Check this FAQ to understand how you can know if your supplier has data to share.
Note: It is the facility's decision with whom and when they share their SLCP data. They may also choose not to share their data.
A facility can share their SLCP assessments via the Gateway, the Accredited Hosts (AHs), or Brand Hosts.
1. Share via Gateway: On the Gateway platform, your supplier can choose to share their SLCP reports with you via an "email link" where you will receive an email with a link to directly access the SLCP report on the platform. For more information on how to share and receive a final report from the Gateway, see here.
Share via Gateway: "Tips"
- Review reports in Excel rather than PDF for better usability. Excel allows brands to view the full Verifier narrative and any attached documents or photos from facilities and Verifiers.
- Check the "Questions and Answers" sheet in the Excel SLCP report for a structured view of the facility and verifier responses.
2. Share via Accredited Host (AH): Once a facility grants you permission on an Accredited Host(s), you can view the SLCP report via the AH(s). You will receive a token/link to access the report. The AH(s) may offer additional services, e.g., calculate a facility score based on the raw data in the report or compare it to your company’s code of conduct.
3. Share to you as a Brand Host: You receive the SLCP data directly from the Gateway into your system, where you manage your social compliance program.
Note: You do not need a Gateway profile to access data. You would need a profile on an AH to access data there.
