Cascale and the Social & Labor Convergence Program (SLCP) are co-hosting an in-person U.S. Brand Meeting in Denver on July 7, 2026, timed alongside the AAFA annual conference to bring together practitioners engaged in social and labor measurement, human rights due diligence, and responsible sourcing.

This is a practical, full-day working session — designed not just to share updates but to create space for peer exchange, facilitated discussion, and direct engagement with Cascale and SLCP on the frameworks and data that shape Decent Work across global supply chains.

The session will include:

• Updates from Cascale and SLCP
• A preview of the next version of the Converged Assessment Framework (CAF), CAF v2.0, launching later in 2026
• Cascale updates on Higg FSLM risk and scoring methodology
• An overview of SLCP’s data quality and integrity work
• Policy updates related to HRDD and social and labor legislation, and discussion on how the CAF and the Higg FSLM can support HRDD and evolving legislative expectations
• A facilitated workshop exploring how brand operations, supplier relationships, and cross-functional collaboration can support improved outcomes for workers
