最新消息：Gap Inc将在2023年之前将用SLCP代替现有的社会责任审核！

可能还有很多人对Gap Inc.这个公司不熟悉，Gap Inc.即盖璞集团，于1969年成立于美国旧金山，位居全球零售服饰领导地位，专注于为男士、女士、以及婴童提供时尚现代高品质的美式服装、饰品以及个人护理产品，在全球被誉为经典美国风的代名词。盖璞集团旗下拥有Gap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta和Intermix等诸多品牌。

在服装和鞋类行业中，如今正在逐步实施社会和劳工融合计划（即SLCP），而Gap Inc.正是该计划的签字人。

SLCP是服装和鞋类行业的一项倡议，旨在实施一项通用评估以解决审计疲劳并最终释放资源以改善工作条件。业界共同合作开发了这个“通用评估框架”（CAF），该框架由数据收集工具，验证协议和验证指南组成，执行模型为自我评估加验证；实施工作正在进行中。

SLCP可以通过一个可以与所有购买者共享的数据集解决审计疲劳的问题，从而使制造商和品牌都受益。这样可以节省时间和资源，这些资源可以重定向到改进驱动器上。设施拥有权也有好处，因为设施可以决定谁可以访问其经过验证的数据并在自我评估过程中发挥领导作用。您可以在此处了解有关该程序的更多信息：https：//slconvergence.org/。

Gap Inc.表示：

“我们公司致力于通过使用行业工具来支持供应商的可持续解决方案，并计划逐步淘汰我们专有的社会责任审核工具，并在2023年之前以“社会与劳工融合计划”（SLCP）取代它。我们的推出计划，我们的供应商可持续性团队将与您联系以获取更多信息。同时，如果任何其他品牌/客户打算在生产Gap Inc.产品的工厂中实施SLCP，请通过SSO_notification@gap.com告知我们（不标识品牌），因为我们将接受经过SLCP验证的评估来代替在您的工厂执行我们自己的社会/劳工审核的过程。”

以下为Gap Inc.的阐述原文：

Gap Inc. is a signatory of the Social and Labor Convergence Program (SLCP), which is an apparel and footwear industry initiative to implement a common assessment to tackle audit fatigue and to ultimately free up resources to improve working conditions.  The industry has worked together to develop this “common assessment framework” (CAF), which consists of a data collection tool, verification protocol and verification guidance, with the execution model being self-assessment plus verification; implementation is now underway.

SLCP can benefit manufacturers and brands alike by addressing the issue of audit fatigue through one data set that can be shared with all buyers. This saves time and resources that can be redirected to driving improvement.  There is also the benefit of facility ownership, as the facility decides who can access their verified data and takes the lead during the self-assessment process.  You can learn more about the program here:

Our company is committed to supporting sustainable solutions for our suppliers by using industry tools and plans to phase out our proprietary social compliance auditing tool, replacing it with Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) by 2023.  When your facility is identified to be part of our roll-out plan, our Supplier Sustainability team will be contacting you with more information.  In the meantime, if any other brand/customer intends to implement SLCP at a facility producing Gap Inc. product, please let us know via SSO_notification@gap.com (without identifying the brand), as we will accept the SLCP verified assessment in lieu of performing our own social/labor audit at your facility.
