SanMar
Fair Labor Member since 2007

Fair Labor Association accreditation has been a meaningful part of SanMarโ€™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 FLAโ€™s tools, training, and community of practice, weโ€™re able to uphold standards of ethical sourcing, labor rights, and transparency across our licensing program.
