Factory assessments
FLA holds members in our Manufacturing Accreditation Program accountable for enforcement of the Fair Labor Code in their supplier facilities. Our rigorous system for assessing working conditions, remedying violations, and verifying progress includes visits to a random sample of facilities each year.
FLA conducts three types of Independent External Assessments (IEAs) in the manufacturing supply chains of FLA participating companies. Facilities are selected for IEAs based on the accreditation status of the company; the type of facility; a company’s history with FLA; known labor risks; and other related factors. The assessments are performed by FLA-approved assessors.
The results of recent assessments are available below, along with each company’s corrective action plan (CAP) and progress updates.

Note: The reports above include assessments for current FLA Participating Companies, as well as certain collegiate licensees and recent former members.
The CAPs for former members and licensees will no longer be updated on a regular basis and are kept for historical purposes only.
As of 2022, collegiate licensees no longer receive SCI assessments; FLA’s licensee program requirements now center around knowledge-building.
