Knowledge building

We provide training and tools to build expertise in companies and drive innovation in business practices, ultimately improving working conditions and the lives of the workers who make the products you buy.

Through MyFLA, our members and affiliates have access to hundreds of exclusive educational resources on global labor rights issues.

In the Resource Library, our network can find advice and tools informed by our leading research on critical topics such as fair compensation, forced labor, and supply chain mapping. On our e-Learning Platform, members and affiliates can take advantage of 100+ courses and trainings tailored to their needs. Some recent additions include:

• Gender Pay Parity
• Preventing and Addressing Child Labor in Supply Chains
• Recognizing Harassment and Discrimination, Human Rights Due Diligence
• Upholding Freedom of Association
• Reporting Greenhouse Gas Emissions
• Grievance Mechanisms
• Converged Human Rights and Environmental Due Diligence Tool Training

We also regularly share issue briefs, in-depth guidance, case studies, and toolkits centered on improving labor practices in supply chains worldwide on our website.

Our wide range of evidence-based, ready-to-implement resources allows us to meet companies where they are on their journey to improving workers’ rights.

Affiliate programs

For specific categories of companies that are not ready to pursue Fair Labor Accreditation or in cases where a company’s business model is not suited to the accreditation model, we offer several affiliation-based programs focused on knowledge building.

These programs provide training, tools, and resources that help companies develop a sustainable social compliance program that improves working conditions and protects workers’ rights.
At present, more than 2,500 affiliates participate in our knowledge-building programs, including those tailored to collegiate licensees, collegiate retailers, and single-factory suppliers.

While these companies do not go through the same rigorous, multi-year process as our members pursuing Fair Labor Accreditation, all our affiliates are required to learn from our rigorous Fair Labor Standards and meet a series of obligations designed to improve working conditions in global supply chains and protect workers’ rights.
