AMSTERDAM - Some 34 leading brands, retailers and other organisations now say they will accept Social and Labour Convergence Programme (SLCP) verified assessments in place of their own proprietary audits.
They include Adidas, C&A, Fast Retailing, G-Star RAW, Gap, H&M Group, Inditex, New Balance, Nike, Puma, PVH Corporation, the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (SAC), Target, Under Armour, VF Corporation and Zalando.
The SLCP says the support for its initiative demonstrates real progress towards its goal of reducing the audit burden on manufacturers, freeing up resources to improve working conditions.
