- The chairman of the Cotton Textiles and Export Promotion Council (Texprocil) has said that ‘Social and Labor Convergence Programme (SLCP)’ will be launched in India shortly.
- This program is an initiative to have a standard-neutral, converged assessment framework for the textile and clothing industry.
- The objective of the initiative is to improve the working conditions in textile units by allowing resources that were previously designated for compliance audits to be redirected towards the improvement of social and labour conditions.
- The initiative is led by the world’s leading manufacturers, brands, retailers, industry groups, non-governmental organisations and service providers.The assessment framework developed by the SLCP provides a data set with no value judgment or scoring.
- SLCP will be compatible with existing audit systems and codes of conduct.This means that the same data set can be used by a wide-range of stakeholders.It eliminates the need for repetitive audits to be carried out on the same facility.
- Texprocil was incorporated in 1954 as an autonomous,nonprofit body dedicated to the export promotion of cotton textiles.It makes suggestions for strengthening the export efforts and also to provide data for monitoring exports.
