SanMar Joins the Fair Labor Association
Seattle, WA; November 1, 2007—SanMar Corp., a leading supplier of imprintable apparel and accessories, has recently been accepted as a participating company of the Fair Labor Association (FLA). The FLA is a non-profit organization established to defend workers rights worldwide. In joining the FLA, SanMar further strengthens the company’s long-standing commitment to human rights and compliance with labor laws across its supply chain.
“SanMar takes social compliance very seriously and requires all suppliers to adhere to our Global Operating Principles,” says Marty Lott, SanMar president. “This process begins during supplier selection as it is critical that suppliers share our commitment to ethical practices and agree to abide by our strict requirements prior to receiving orders.”
SanMar’s Global Operating Principles are based on labor standards established by the International Labor Organization and they’re consistent with the FLA’s Workplace Code of Conduct. The principles ban forced labor, child labor, harassment, abuse, and discrimination and requires suppliers to promote health and safety, freedom of association and collective bargaining, payment of wages and benefits, and appropriate compensation for overtime.
“We also require our suppliers to submit to periodic compliance audits and to address and correct any violations identified,” says Lott. “In this way, we create greater accountability and transparency at the factories that produce our products.”
The Fair Labor Association is a non-profit organization that combines the efforts of companies, colleges, universities and non-governmental organizations to promote adherence to international labor standards and to improve working conditions worldwide.
SanMar Corporation is a leading supplier of wholesale apparel and accessories. SanMar's FLA-affiliated brands are Port Authority Signature®, Port Authority®, Port & Company®, Sport-Tek®, CornerStone™, Precious Cargo™ and District Threads®. SanMar's retail brands—Red House™, Nike Golf, Tiger Woods Collection, and Gildan®—are also FLA-approved. A family owned business since 1971, SanMar is based in Seattle, WA with six national distribution centers.
