What can SLCP buyers do with factories in Better Work countries that Better Work cannot enroll (due to scope or capacity constraints)?
Where Better Work is not able to enroll a factory (either because it is beyond the scope of the Better Work programme or we do not currently have the capacity to enroll it), brands can define alternative plans (as they do in other cases where Better Work cannot enroll a factory) including registration with SLCP. Once capacity is open within Better Work, partners are asked to enroll factories into the programme.
To ensure brands have accurate information on which factories Better Work can enroll, brands are requested to ensure their factory lists are kept updated on the Better Work portal. In 2021, Better Work and SLCP will explore how exchange of information on eligible factories between both initiatives could be automated.
