Signatory Newsflash: Discover SLCP’s Data Sharing Ecosystem in Our Live WebinarJust out: VB Quality Scores now available, SLCP at the OECD Forum in Paris, and more
On behalf of the SLCP team, we wish you a happy and healthy start to 2026!
There is a lot to look forward to this year. Our main focus will be the launch of the CAF v2.0, through which we aim to broaden adoption of SLCP in global supply chains. Alongside this, we will continue to expand our Data Quality and Integrity Program, including the launch of a new quality-based Verifier Body Selection Model.
We also plan to increase our local engagement and launch our first manufacturer-focused engagement strategy, as well as provide deeper thematic and country level data insights. We will continue to build upon the strong partnerships that are key to SLCP’s success and to nurture new collaboration opportunities, with a focus on the policy sphere and partnerships to drive improvements.
With plans for an in-person General Assembly in Türkiye, and activities to celebrate SLCP’s 10-year anniversary, we expect many opportunities for Signatory engagement and collaboration – look out for more details in upcoming newsflashes.
Thank you for your continued support. We look forward to working together in the year ahead.
In this edition:
VB Quality Scores now available
Register now for our Data Sharing Ecosystem webinar
With our new selection model to be implemented at the end of March, VB scores will then also be visible for facilities when selecting a VB on their Accredited Host platform. This means facilities can easily make informed decisions based on the quality of VB performance, which is monitored regularly by SLCP.
Improving transparency regarding VB performance remains a priority for SLCP, and this is an important step forward.
