FLA Independent External Monitoring in Year Two Summary and Analysis
2004 Feature issue: Freedom of Association
FLA doesn't just monitor. Our work with companies also focuses on finding ways to systematically fix the problems that monitoring uncovers. Learn more>>>
During the FLA's second year of monitoring (referred to as Year Two), which took place January-December 2003, FLA-accredited monitors conducted 110 independent monitoring visits in twenty countries. During the visits, the monitors evaluated factory compliance with the FLA Workplace Code of Conduct and applicable national and local laws.

The reports from each of these 110 factory visits, along with company plans to remediate the reported noncompliance issues, are available to the public on the FLA website (click here to access FLA factory tracking charts). By reviewing individual factory reports, readers can learn about particular factory conditions and different companies' approaches to remediating various noncompliance issues.
