The FLA Board of Directors voted in October 2019 to accredit the social compliance program of Maxport Limited an apparel group established in 1991 with headquarters and facilities in northern Viet Nam.
Accreditation by the FLA recognizes that Maxport has systems in place to identify and remediate unfair labor practices in its global supply chain. Among the findings in the report:
- All personnel receive orientation and annual refresher training on new policies and codes. Compliance Team reviews and analyzes post-training data from quizzes and/or surveys;
