FLA Accreditation is the multi-year assurance mechanism by which FLA Member Companies + Supplier Companies + Universities + Civil Society Organisations demonstrate sustained implementation of the Workplace Code of Conduct. Components: (a) FLA membership application + initial assessment; (b) Independent External Monitoring (IEM) - on-site factory audits conducted by FLA-accredited monitors; (c) Sustainable Compliance Initiative (SCI) - systems-level audit covering company operational policies + supplier management + worker grievance + remediation effectiveness; (d) Public Tracking Chart - public-facing summary of factory-level audit findings + remediation; (e) Public Reports - annual member company reports on FLA-conducted assessments; (f) Accreditation Decision - FLA Board approval following demonstrated compliance + remediation effectiveness; (g) Ongoing Monitoring - sustained assessment cycle every 3 years for FLA-accredited companies. FLA accreditation is intentionally PROCESS-BASED + SYSTEM-LEVEL rather than per-factory certification - the focus is on the member company's ability to embed Code requirements into its global operations + sourcing decisions + supplier relationships.
