How frequently does the FLA monitor factories that produce collegiate goods and who monitors these factories?
Factories of FLA-affiliated companies at Participating Company and Category B level are subject to annual unannounced monitoring by independent FLA-accredited monitors. This is complemented by the internal monitoring that affiliated companies are required perform and report throughout the year for the factories from which they source. Most collegiate licensees fall into FLA’s category C with revenues below $50 million. Through the Enhanced Program, the FLA hopes to achieve a greater level of labor compliance than we have seen in the past from these smaller licensees.
