The Fair Labor Association (FLA)

The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is a nonprofit organization that promotes fair and safe working conditions worldwide. It collaborates with businesses, governments, and worker groups to establish and monitor labor standards such as no child labor, fair wages, and safe environments. Companies can become FLA-accredited by agreeing to meet these standards and regularly undergoing independent assessments. The goal is to improve labor practices, ensure workers’ rights are protected, and promote ethical manufacturing in industries like apparel, electronics, and footwear. Essentially, the FLA works to hold companies accountable and support fair treatment of workers globally.
