FLA University Membership
Members of the FLA University Caucus participate in, benefit from, and contribute to a multi-stakeholder initiative for protecting and promoting labor rights.
By joining leaders from global brands, peer higher education institutions and their licensees, and civil society, FLA University Members demonstrate their commitment to fair labor standards and human rights in the supply chains of their branded merchandise. Download this FLA University Program Overview to learn more.
Benefits of the FLA University Program include:
- Leadership and Influence: Each institution is represented in the FLA University Caucus, which convenes to advise on policy matters and strategic priorities and to elect representatives to the FLA Board of Directors
- Access to the FLA Collegiate Licensee Program: Provide your licensees with training, tools, resources, and platform access to build a sustainable social compliance program, and use FLA data to monitor your licensees’ learning and gain visibility into your supply chain.
- Education and Resources: Gain access for members of your university community to FLA’s Resource Library, e-Learning platform, exclusive virtual and in-person learning opportunities, and timely communications.
- Convenings and Networking: Meet and collaborate with peer institutions within the FLA University Caucus and from the FLA Business Caucus and Civil Society Organization Caucus during Open FLA Board Meetings and other gatherings.
We’ve benefited from being part of the Fair Labor Association in so many ways: learning the issues, learning the solutions, learning the feedback that all of those involved in collegiate licensed products… are dealing with.
I think the accountability and transparency that the FLA has consistently held to be a core value has been really critical for us as well as many other institutions.
