The Standard Convergence Initiative of IAF and ITMF has issued a manifesto calling for reducing audit fatigue, and urged industry stakeholders to accept/integrate the Social & Labor Convergence Program’s Converged Assessment Framework (CAF).
Urging larger number of brands and retailers to hasten their switch to converged schemes, the Standard Convergence Initiative (SCI) has said that a lot more can be done to further reduce the burden on suppliers and manufacturers.
Plans are on to have third party and brand/ retailer proprietary standards align across four key areas to help combat growing audit fatigue in the textile and footwear sector.
