Sitka Gear is a proud member of the fair labor association
At SITKA Gear we believe in conducting our business according to the highest ethical standards. We strive to provide our customers with high-value products that enhance the quality of life and to improve the communities in which we work and live. We expect our employees to work with our suppliers, customers and other stakeholders with integrity, fairness and respect.
That is why in September 2019, SITKA Gear joined the multi-stakeholder initiative Fair Labor Association (FLA). We are proud to be recognized as a Fair Labor Accredited company. Fair Labor Accreditation verifies that our company has systems in place to protect the workers who manufacture our products, based on the Fair Labor Association’s internationally recognized labor standards.
Earning Fair Labor Accreditation is a rigorous, multi-year process. It includes evaluation in areas ranging from the commitment of our company’s leadership to fair labor standards, to our implementation of systems designed to ensure that our factories provide decent and humane working conditions.
We are proud to be part of this global movement to protect workers in international supply chains. Learn more at FairLabor.org.
As a FLA member we are committed to upholding FLA’s Workplace Code of Conduct and Compliance Benchmarks with our garment manufacturers, verifying compliance through commissioned and independent audits, and engaging with civil society organizations and stakeholders. Additionally, the FLA conducts its own assessments to confirm the effectiveness of our social compliance program.
We are determined to implement effective and state of the art systems and procedures for successfully upholding fair labor standards throughout our supply chains.
