We are excited to announce the launch of our 2023 Impact Report today! The report highlights SLCP’s rapid growth and evolution and the progress made in converging stakeholders around a single social assessment. It provides key insights from social and labor data across over 9,000 diverse facilities covering 6.6 million workers worldwide and evidence of how SLCP adoption has enabled potential resource allocation for tangible improvements in working conditions.
We will also be hosting two webinar sessions on 28 and 29 May to talk through the report’s main findings. You can register for one of the sessions below:
To guide the European Commission in developing guidelines for the textile sector on the implementation of the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), high-level recommendations have been jointly developed by SLCP, Policy Hub, Fair Wear Foundation, Global Fashion Agenda, Federation of the European Sporting Goods Industry and Cascale.

New field for Report Reviewer name in CAF v1.6
The Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) Tool Version 1.6, launched in March 2024, includes a new field in the Verification/Assessment Detail section for the name of the Report Reviewer.
According to the Verifier Body (VBs) requirements, VBs must conduct an internal quality review of every report. The Verification Report Reviewer, an integral part of the internal VB quality team, actively participates in the required internal quality assurance reviews of all verified reports before they are finalized.
The addition of this new field for the Report Reviewer’s name in CAF v1.6 aims to improve overall accountability within VB internal quality and facilitate SLCP Verification Oversight activities. This allows for tracking and validation of the personnel responsible for identifying mistakes, inaccuracies, clarifications, or other details as needed.
Collaboratively, SLCP and VBs will work towards implementing these changes, which will ultimately drive higher data quality standards. This proactive approach not only enhances data accuracy but also strengthens the credibility of the verification process.
For more resources on the changes in the CAF Tool, head to the Helpdesk FAQ.
