Companies, Suppliers and Licensees
In joining the FLA, affiliated companies make a commitment to develop a rigorous labor compliance program that includes implementing the FLA Workplace Code of Conduct and conducting monitoring to ensure that any violations are identified and corrected. Affiliated companies' efforts in this regard must meet FLA standards for public disclosure and long term improvement.
Companies affiliate with the FLA in categories based on their revenue and business model as well as on their licensing relationship with FLA-affiliated universities for manufacturing of collegiate logoed products.
Participating Companies make a sustained corporate commitment to fulfill the ten company obligations required by the FLA, including submitting to unannounced independent external monitoring audits, and enforce the FLA Workplace Code of Conduct in their supplier facilities.
Participating Suppliers are factories taking a leadership position by directly committing to implement the same standards as Participating Companies. To see a list of Participating Suppliers, click here.
Some Participating Companies and all category B, C, and D licensees have licensing relationships with FLA-affiliated colleges and universities for manufacturing of logoed products. (Participating Companies that are also licensees are indicated by an asterisk * below; accredited companies are indicated in bold.) FLA-affiliated licensees must commit to implementing the FLA Workplace Code of Conduct in the factories that supply their collegiate products.
