The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is a non-profit organization that promotes fair labor practices worldwide. Founded in 1999, it works to improve working conditions and protect the rights of workers in various industries, particularly in the global supply chains of major brands. The FLA collaborates with companies, universities, and civil society to create and enforce standards for labor rights. The FLA conducts independent assessments of workplaces to ensure compliance with its standards, which include fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to organize. By holding companies accountable, the FLA aims to foster transparency and ethical practices in the global economy, benefiting both workers and consumers.
