A leading platform for managing the fashion supplier lifecycle, Retraced has enhanced its partnership with the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) to allow the program’s assessment data to be directly integrated into the Retraced platform.

As an official ‘Passive Accredited Host,’ Retraced can access verified assessment data through the SLCP Gateway, providing brands and suppliers with a single, reliable dataset. This eliminates the need to switch between different tools or rely on static reports, allowing companies to collaborate using a single source of credible information.

The integration embeds verified SLCP data directly into supplier profiles on the Retraced platform. This data is linked to existing compliance and sourcing workflows and can be used with corrective action planning tools (CAPA). For ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) and sourcing teams, this partnership reduces the burden of repetitive audits and redundant requests, enabling stakeholders to focus on long-term improvements to working conditions.

This expanded partnership marks a new phase in the collaboration between SLCP and Retraced, with the goal of providing supply chain partners with evidence-based insights to drive more efficient and strategic compliance management.

Retraced aims to make sustainability management and responsible supplier management more efficient and impactful, says Lukas Puender, CEO, Retraced. By integrating verified SLCP data into the Retraced platform, the company enables both brands and suppliers to save time, reduce duplication, and work with reliable information."

Steve Harris, COO, SLCP, adds, the company focuses on minimizing audit fatigue by simplifying the assessment process and delivering credible, actionable data, and with Retraced’s advanced data-driven platform, manufacturers and brands can seamlessly connect and share SLCP data. It hopes this collaboration will save facilities further resources on redundant audits, supporting our ultimate goal of decent working conditions in global supply chains, adds Harris.

With this new integration, SLCP assessment data can be shared with Retraced via the SLCP Gateway and automatically synced to a supplier’s profile. The system flags non-compliance issues and helps initiate the next steps for resolution. This streamlined process leads to improved performance. In the coming months, these workflows will be further enhanced with AI-assisted corrective action planning, which will suggest actions and timelines to support a collaborative follow-up.

Manufacturers are already seeing the benefits. Michael Cai, Director -Operations and Supply Chains, Décor Global, notes, wth Retraced now hosting the company’s SLCP data, they will be able to share verified insights once and feel confident that our brand partners are seeing accurate, trusted information. It will definitely save us time and help everyone focus on improving working conditions, without all the manual work."

This partnership comes at a time when global regulations, such as the EU’s Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive, are increasingly scrutinizing working conditions in supply chains. The verified, shareable SLCP data in Retraced provides compliance and sourcing teams with the necessary evidence to assess risk, act proactively, and work with suppliers to make
