The SLCP Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) is the foundation of Cascale’s Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (Higg FSLM). When you complete the Higg FSLM, you are completing the SLCP assessment process.
Here’s how they connect:
- Facilities can complete their SLCP assessments on an SLCP Accredited Host platform, such as Worldly. Once the assessment is verified, it can be shared with an unlimited number of stakeholders via the secure SLCP Gateway or via an SLCP Accredited Host.
- Cascale owns and develops the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (Higg FSLM), which is exclusively available on Worldly. The Higg FSLM uses the SLCP assessment tool and process, meaning that all questions asked are the same as SLCPs Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) and the verification process followed is according to the rules in the SLCP Verification Protocol.
- Cascale adds a scoring component so that businesses can see their annual social impact performance and progress. Cascale also manages the verification program for Higg FSLM.
- Worldly provides access to the CAF in the form of the Higg FSLM, which includes the scoring framework developed by Cascale. Manufacturers can share their Higg FSLM self-assessment and verified results with supply chain partners via Worldly. Worldly also offers additional data analytics and data sharing services to brands and manufacturers.
