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.

“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
