Thank you to those who have already been involved in discussions and feedback on our next five-year plan. We are now finalizing the strategy and all signatories can expect to see a final draft on Monday 4 September as well as more information about our plans to become an independent organization. As our valued signatories we will be asking for your votes on both! Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks. 🗓️ Hold the date for our SLCP strategy and independence signatory webinar Mark your calendar for our special signatory webinars on Tuesday 5 September 09:00-10:00 CET and 17:00-18:00 CET. The webinars will be hosted by SLCP Council members and will explain the detail of our new five-year strategy, and what becoming independent means for us and you! More details to follow. More signatories are using the CAF, reducing audit duplication According to our 2022 Impact Report, more signatories than ever are using the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) in place of proprietary tools. As a result, manufacturers are reporting a reduction in the number of audits they do each year. Interested to find out more about SLCP’s increasing impact? Check out our recently released Impact Report. New! Worker Engagement Technology (WE Tech) launched SLCP's digital platform for collecting workers' experience is now live. WE Tech is a digital platform for workers to directly report information about their experience working at a facility, via a mobile phone survey. WE Tech is mandatory for SLCP full virtual verifications and beneficial for SLCP onsite verifications. Pakistan manufacturer, The Crescent Textile Mills Ltd. has shared its experience of implementing WE Tech. Based on worker feedback collected from the survey, it was able to create a WE Tech Action Plan and make improvements to its grievance mechanism systems, working hours and supervisor behavior. Read the full case study here. To support the launch of this technology, facilities can join a focused WE Tech training webinar, 'Welcome to SLCP Worker Engagement Technology (WE Tech)!' on 27th August 16:30 Beijing time. Register here. More information about how to implement WE Tech can be found on our Helpdesk. Reminder: Don’t forget to schedule your verifications! With Verifier schedules filling up, it’s going to be a busy Q4 so please encourage your facilities to beat the rush and schedule their verification soon! To find a Verifier Body in your country/region, checkout the Active Verifier Body List. Contact the SLCP Helpdesk  if you have any questions. While you are engaging with CAF v1.5 this year, the SLCP team are actively working on the next version of the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF v1.6) which will be going live in 2024. Thanks to the CAF Taskforce, Better Work and other key partners for their valuable feedback. All materials explaining the changes and data mapping will be released three months ahead of launch. As usual, we will also hold a special webinar before the launch.  Set up an account on the Signatory Portal - an exclusive platform for SLCP signatories! New to SLCP?
