SLCP solves some of the pain points in the industry, such as:
1) Many buyers of shoes and apparel are contracted parties of SLCP, and the same standard can be used uniformly to reduce repeated audits;
2) Reports are easy to share;
3) SLCP verification only produces data and facts. It does not set a propensity classification for any checkpoint (for example, whether it is a problem, whether it is Critical, Major, Minor, etc.), so it is convenient for buyers to internally score according to their own understanding and standards grading. In other words, SLCP makes it easy for different buyers to develop their own rules of the game while using the same set of CSR standards.
From the third point above, verification and audit are different. Verification is only to confirm that the factory's self-assessment data is true. The verifier does not need to decide whether it is a problem point, whether it is serious/significant/slight, etc., because it is determined by the buyer according to the verification report.
