SLCP (Social & Labor Convergence Program)

SLCP (Social & Labor Convergence Program) Verification is an independent verification service that validates facility-level social and labor information under the SLCP Converged Assessment Framework, supporting a standardized dataset and reducing duplication across social compliance assessments.

Sustainable Management System Bangladesh (Sustainable Management System Inc.) is an Approved SLCP Verification Body (VB ID: VB293023), delivering evidence-based verification through structured planning, on-site verification activities, and confidential worker interviews, aligned with SLCP methodology, ISO 19011 auditing principles, and professional conduct expectations consistent with APSCA requirements.

This service provides independent verification of information collected under the SLCP framework to assess the accuracy, completeness, and consistency of reported social and labor data.
