The FLA Board of Directors voted in February 2019 to accredit the social compliance program of Mainland Headwear Holdings Limited in recognition of the company’s efforts to increase transparency and remediate supply chain labor abuses.
The accreditation report noted Mainland’s robust training for workers, supervisors, and managers, including pre-and post-test evaluations, data analyses conducted cumulatively across customer audits to inform the development of its social compliance program, the implementation of a working hours improvement strategy to reduce excessive overtime, and engagement with civil society organizations in Bangladesh on women’s health training programs.
