The Social Labor Conversion Program is a platform aiming at avoiding audit fatigue and duplicate information by collecting data related to social compliance in one place. Among the data to be collected and analyzed is child and forced labor, occupational health and safety, and fair wages. The project does not focus on establishing minimum requirements, and is not structured as a grading or ranking system, rather to be a source of accurate information with the end goal of facilitating effective tools to improve working conditions.
