FLA Accreditation of Labor Compliance Programs
Accreditation by the Fair Labor Association is the most advanced recognition of a company’s labor compliance program. Participating Companies whose labor compliance programs have been accredited have demonstrated substantial compliance with the Workplace Code of Conduct throughout their supply chain. They have undergone over a two- to three-year implementation period extensive performance reviews, including independent factory monitoring, verification of remediation initiatives, and a thorough evaluation of their internal protocols and auditing, as well as extensive training through the FLA.
The Board of Directors must vote to accredit the labor compliance programs of Participating Companies. As of 2008, the FLA Board had accredited the labor compliance programs of Adidas, Eddie Bauer, Gildan, H&M, Liz Claiborne, New Era Cap, Nike, Nordstrom, Patagonia, Phillips-Van Heusen and PUMA AG.

Famous quotes containing the words labor, compliance and/or programs:
“Learning without thinking is labor lost; thinking without learning is dangerous.”
—Chinese proverb.
“This is the day when people reciprocally offer, and receive, the kindest and the warmest wishes, though, in general, without meaning them on one side, or believing them on the other. They are formed by the head, in compliance with custom, though disavowed by the heart, in consequence of nature.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
“Whether in the field of health, education or welfare, I have put my emphasis on preventive rather than curative programs and tried to influence our elaborate, costly and ill- co-ordinated welfare organizations in that direction. Unfortunately the momentum of social work is still directed toward compensating the victims of our society for its injustices rather than eliminating those injustices.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
