Here we take a look at the Social & Labour Convergence Program, which was first created in 2015 by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition (now Cascale).
Its aim is to develop and deploy a framework that delivers harmonised, accessible and trusted data on working conditions in global textile supply chains.
The Social and Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) foundation demonstrated robust financial health in 2024, recording a surplus of €350,871 on total income of €3.43 million. This represents a healthy 10.2% operating margin, indicating prudent financial management and operational efficiency during what the organisation notes was primarily an 11-month trading period.
SLCP's financial independence is evident in its diversified income structure. The foundation generated €3.13 million (91% of total income) through direct service delivery—predominantly volume-driven fees from its Converged Assessment Framework (CAF) verifications. This performance-based model ensures revenues scale with impact, a positive indicator for potential investors. Donations contributed €292,805, whilst financial income added €7,191, demonstrating the foundation is not grant-dependent and operates a genuinely commercial-style revenue model within a non-profit structure.
