How does the FLA improve working conditions?
The FLA process subjects companies to a rigorous system of scrutiny as a means of verifying sustainable solutions in the workplace. This process entails holding companies accountable for their compliance programs and providing companies with technical assistance for their remediation of non-compliance and Third Party Complaints. While the FLA cannot directly monitor all of our companies’ factories, we can go beyond work with individual companies to encourage collective efforts involving multiple companies, civil society organizations, workers, government officials and policy makers, and others to improve workplace conditions, encourage the adoption of higher standards, and ensure that labor standards are enforced.
