The FLA Collegiate Licensee Program offers training and resources tailored to support licensees in meeting their licensors\u2019 expectations for responsible business practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Engaging with FLA\u2019s Collegiate Licensee Program demonstrates a commitment to learning from our rigorous standards and improving working conditions for the workers throughout the supply chain producing and decorating items bearing university marks and logos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This program is only available to companies that actively hold or are in the process of holding license agreements with FLA University Caucus members. FLA Collegiate Licensee Program requirements span the following categories, and we regularly update universities on requirement completion:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Participation in quarterly virtual trainings;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Workplace standards commitments, including a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairlabor.org\/accountability\/standards\/manufacturing\/mfg-code\/\">code of conduct aligned with FLA standards<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Collegiate supply chain transparency, including factory\/supplier disclosures;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Willingness to participate in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fairlabor.org\/accountability\/fair-labor-investigations\/\">Fair Labor Investigations<\/a> if they arise; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Annual affiliation renewal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Companies engaging with the program benefit by increasing their awareness of the labor rights risks within collegiate supply chains and receiving actionable training to mitigate those risks. This program provides relevant and applicable resources to all companies in the collegiate industry, no matter your company size or sourcing structure. A majority of post-training survey respondents report that they are likely to use the program materials and content in their day-to-day work.<\/p>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"section documents\" data-dc-animate>\n            <ul class=\"documents__list  fade-animate    \"\n    data-dc-animate-ref=\"fadeBlocks[]\"\n     style=\"z-index: 39\" >\n            <li class=\"documents__item\" >\n                            <a download href=\"https:\/\/www.fairlabor.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/2025-FLA-Collegiate-Licensee-Program-Toolkit.pdf\" download class=\"documents__link\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon documents__icon1\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" focusable=\"false\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#icon-page\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                    <span class=\"documents__name\">Download our Collegiate Licensee Program Toolkit for more information<\/span>\n                                            <span class=\"documents__type\">PDF | 675 KB<\/span>\n                                        <span class=\"documents__icon2\">\n                    <svg class=\"icon\"  focusable=\"false\">\n                        <use xlink:href=\"#icon-download\"><\/use>\n                    <\/svg>\n                    <\/span>\n                <\/a>\n                    <\/li>\n    <\/ul>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"rich-text section\" data-dc-animate>\n    <div class=\" fade-animate \"  data-dc-animate-ref=\"fadeBlocks[]\">\n        \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-sky-900-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-764c3a27a28b2c5e68c467c02b49ab23\">How to affiliate as a collegiate licensee<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Fair labor is good for business.
