Better Work launch of the CAF v1.5
We are excited to share that ILO Better Work will begin rolling out SLCP compatible assessments in Pakistan. This means that their assessment tool will be fully aligned with Step 1 of the CAF v1.5 and facilities will be able to share their assessment data to the SLCP Gateway and to the Accredited Hosts. Better Work will continue to provide SLCP compatible assessments in Indonesia, Bangladesh, and Vietnam, now with Step 1 of the CAF v1. 5.
Launch of the CAF v1.5 in Cambodia
There is currently no fixed launch date for Better Work to launch the CAF v1.5 in Cambodia. SLCP and Better Work are jointly engaging key stakeholders with the aim of launching in 2023. We will keep signatories informed of progress via the newsflash.
Facilities in Cambodia that are not in scope of the Better Work program can now begin registering on the Gateway and can undergo an SLCP verification using an SLCP approved Verifier.
Brand requirements on CAF Step completion
Before facilities get started with CAF v1.5 assessments, we would urge them to check which Step their brand partners wish to receive. You can check the Step preference of companies accepting SLCP verified data here.
