Principles of Real Data Validation and Evaluation in SLCP

SLCP has developed a simple, unified, and effective industry wide evaluation framework. This has led to a descriptive (standard neutral) tool and validation method to collect relevant and necessary data, with the aim of objectively evaluating social and labor conditions and replacing current proprietary tools.

SLCP focuses on the implementation of fusion evaluation frameworks. SLCP is a part of a complex system that enables actors to improve social and labor conditions. By providing reliable and comparable data, SLCP will advance the work of a wide range of private and public sector organizations, as well as multi-stakeholder initiatives related to remediation and improvement plans, better purchasingpractices, data analysis and transparency, and standards and scoring system management. The integration assessment framework will provide a basis for signatories, stakeholders, and partners to take joint action, with the same ultimate goal of improving global working conditions.

Honest data is one of the fundamental principles of SLCP. All signatories sign the signatory's charter, committing to "respecting the principle of SLCP verification and evaluationof true data through recording and receiving honest data, and prioritizing remedies rather than punishment." This charter emphasizes the joint responsibility of suppliers and buyers: factories must be transparent in data disclosure, and brands and retailers must create conditions that encourage honesty in factories, By proving that they will adopt a remedial approach rather than cutting off contact when problems arise, non conformities will be identified. Users of the SLCP Integration Assessment Framework (CAF) promise to provide honest data when signing the SLCP gateway usage terms, and explain the importance of honest data disclosure in SLCP's e-learning and factory training programs.
