Slcp, Fslm, Higg Index Audit Consulting Services

Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) and the Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM). SLCP helps factories and brands reduce their audits with the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF), while Higg FSLM uses a similiar system but adds scoring and performance tracking.

SLCP was set up as a way of reducing audit fatigue across the industry. By having a single standardized assessment framework, SLCP reduced the need for companies to complete dozens of audits for different partners. This made it easier for the industry to Instead of having its own platform, SLCP works with approved third-party platforms (Accredited Hosts) where factories complete their assessments. All verified assessments are stored in the SLCP Gateway, a central system that allows businesses to share their results easily. 

The Higg Facility Social & Labor Module (FSLM) was created by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC) to help companies assess and improve social and labor conditions in their supply chains. It uses the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) from the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP), so evaluations are standardized. But unlike SLCP, Higg FSLM includes a scoring system that allows facilities to track their performance and set improvement goals.
