可能還有很多人對Gap Inc.這個公司不熟悉，Gap Inc.即蓋璞集團，于1969年成立于美國舊金山，位居全球零售服飾領(lǐng)導(dǎo)地位，專注于為男士、女士、以及嬰童提供時尚現(xiàn)代高品質(zhì)的美式服裝、飾品以及個人護理產(chǎn)品，在全球被譽為經(jīng)典美國風(fēng)的代名詞。蓋璞集團旗下?lián)碛蠫ap, Banana Republic, Old Navy, Athleta和Intermix等諸多品牌。

在服裝和鞋類行業(yè)中，如今正在逐步實施社會和勞工融合計劃（即SLCP），而Gap Inc.正是該計劃的簽字人。

SLCP是服裝和鞋類行業(yè)的一項倡議，旨在實施一項通用評估以解決審計疲勞并最終釋放資源以改善工作條件。業(yè)界共同合作開發(fā)了這個“通用評估框架”（CAF），該框架由數(shù)據(jù)收集工具，驗證協(xié)議和驗證指南組成，執(zhí)行模型為自我評估加驗證；實施工作正在進(jìn)行中。

SLCP可以通過一個可以與所有購買者共享的數(shù)據(jù)集解決審計疲勞的問題，從而使制造商和品牌都受益。這樣可以節(jié)省時間和資源，這些資源可以重定向到改進(jìn)驅(qū)動器上。設(shè)施擁有權(quán)也有好處，因為設(shè)施可以決定誰可以訪問其經(jīng)過驗證的數(shù)據(jù)并在自我評估過程中發(fā)揮領(lǐng)導(dǎo)作用。您可以在此處了解有關(guān)該程序的更多信息：https：//slconvergence.org/。

Gap Inc.表示：

“我們公司致力于通過使用行業(yè)工具來支持供應(yīng)商的可持續(xù)解決方案，并計劃逐步淘汰我們專有的社會責(zé)任審核工具，并在2023年之前以“社會與勞工融合計劃”（SLCP）取代它。我們的推出計劃，我們的供應(yīng)商可持續(xù)性團隊將與您聯(lián)系以獲取更多信息。同時，如果任何其他品牌/客戶打算在生產(chǎn)Gap Inc.產(chǎn)品的工廠中實施SLCP，請通過SSO_notification@gap.com告知我們（不標(biāo)識品牌），因為我們將接受經(jīng)過SLCP驗證的評估來代替在您的工廠執(zhí)行我們自己的社會/勞工審核的過程�！�

以下為Gap Inc.的闡述原文：

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:
https://slconvergence.org/.

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.
