How to Submit the self-assessment on the BW platform?
To submit the complete assessment: click on the Submit button.
As per the business rules of SLCP and its signatories, the Factory Manager will be required to continue answering the questions until the assessment completion is at least at 95%.
Another mandatory requirement before submission is that the Facility Profile section is fully completed. Please note that in case the Factory Manager has not completed this section, they will not be able to submit the assessment even if 95% of the questions has been completed.
After the Factory Manager has submitted the self-assessment, BW will conduct the compliance assessment according to its regular process.
After BW has completed the Assessment, the report will be released following the regular time frame for BW assessment reporting (28 days).
Following the release of the BW compliance assessment report, BW will transmit SLCP self-assessment data populated by the factory, and data from the BW compliance assessment to the SLCP Gateway for factories that have completed the needed steps (see above).
After 15 days following the release of the BW assessment report, the data is validated by SLCP and data sharing via the SLCP Gateway is enabled.
Following the assessment, BW continues to provide advisory and training services to the factory to support remediation and continuous improvement through a process of social dialogue within a bipartite committee of workers and managers overseeing compliance. Any new issues found in these engagements will be shared with the bipartite committee and be reflected on Better Work improvement plans through the online Portal.
