SanMar
Fair Labor Member since 2007

Fair Labor Association accreditation has been a meaningful part of SanMar’s journey. It has given us the opportunity to thoughtfully examine our practices, strengthen partnerships with our suppliers, and stay focused on fair and respectful treatment of workers. While the work is ongoing, this commitment has helped us become a more accountable company and build deeper trust with our customers, partners, and the communities connected to our supply chain.
-Prathika Kurian, Director of Factory ComplianceBoston University
Fair Labor Member since 2001

At Boston University, I view the Fair Labor Association as a vital partner in ensuring that our licensed products align with the values of our institution. Through the FLA’s tools, training, and community of practice, we’re able to uphold standards of ethical sourcing, labor rights, and transparency across our licensing program.
-Jonathan Sliva, Assistant Director, Trademark Licensing & SponsorshipsÖz İplik-İş

Being part of FLA’s multistakeholder initiative allows us to engage directly with companies, civil society organizations, and other stakeholders to drive meaningful improvements in working conditions.

We mourn the loss of Pharis Harvey, a labor rights advocate and founding board member of FLA. Our statement:
We have lost a labor rights pioneer and champion of workers around the world. Pharis was instrumental in founding FLA, and his efforts deeply influenced our work holding companies accountable to their human rights commitments. His vision and leadership helped extend FLA’s programs beyond manufacturing to the agriculture sector; he understood that risks are often highest in the least formal areas of the supply chain. 

Throughout his life, Pharis remained a driving force in fighting child labor and will be deeply missed by those committed to the rights of workers everywhere. We are confident that the crucial work he helped shape will continue.
