Fair Labor Association

Mission & Goals

The Fair Labor Association® (FLA) is a 5013c not-for profit organization that provides training and tools to build expertise in companies and drive innovation in business practices, ultimately improving working conditions and the lives of the workers who make the products you buy. FLA’s wide range of evidence-based, ready-to-implement resources allows us to meet companies where they are on their journey to improving workers’ rights. We provide targeted guidance for companies working to achieve FLA Accreditation and ongoing training for accredited companies. We offer a learning program for Collegiate Licensees, whose University partners are eager to raise labor standards for merchandise bearing their logos. FLA conducts leading-edge research on critical topics such as fair compensation/living wage, supply chain innovation, and forced labor/child labor—ultimately allowing us to provide partners with evidence-based advice and tools to improve labor practices.
