The Fair Labor Association promotes human rights at work.

About FLA

Accountability and transparency are the foundations of responsible business.

The Fair Labor Association® (FLA) has worked for more than 20 years toward a future where responsible business means that fair working conditions are the standard, not the exception.
Our unique model of collaboration builds expertise and drives innovation to improve business policies and practices that benefit workers around the world.

Celebrating 25 Years of Fair Labor

2024 marks 25 years of the Fair Labor Association. Throughout the year, FLA and our members are not only celebrating the progress that has been made since 1999, but we are also sharing our vision of the future of fair labor.

To mark the occasion, during our Fall Board Convening in Istanbul, Türkiye on October 21-23, we’ll be hosting a series of events ranging from farm and factory visits to a celebratory 25th anniversary lunch.

Putting fairness to work

FLA holds companies accountable to their labor rights commitments by evaluating business practices against the highest international standards for global supply chains.

An international standard for labor rights

Fair Labor Accreditation starts with headquarters and follows global supply chains to ensure that the brands you know have policies and systems in place to support their workers.


Respect for workers' rights

Fair Labor Investigations address instances of significant and persistent noncompliance with our standards in the facilities used by member companies, suppliers, or university licensees.
