We provide targeted guidance for companies working to achieve FLA Accreditation and ongoing training for accredited companies.
We offer education for Collegiate Licensees, whose University partners are eager to raise labor standards for merchandise bearing their logos.
FLA conducts leading-edge research on critical topics such as fair compensation/living wage, supply chain innovation, and forced labor/child labor—ultimately allowing us to provide partners with evidence-based advice and tools to improve labor practices.
We keep companies accountable to their commitments on labor rights.
FLA evaluates business practices against the highest international labor standards to ensure they advance the rights of workers throughout global supply chains.
We are changing policies and improving lives.
