Social & Labor Convergence Project Objectives (2 years, Q1 2018) What do we want to achieve? This pioneering project seeks to develop a simple, unified and effective industry-wide assessment framework. This will result in a descriptive (standard-agnostic) tool and verification methodology to collect relevant and essential data with the intent to measure social and labor conditions and replace current proprietary tools. To promote adoption and create scale, the tool and verification methodology will be open source and publicly available. Website: slconvergence.org
What we’ve done and where we’ll be going
