Antigua Begins FLA Accreditation Process
The Antigua Group, Inc.—one of the nation’s leading designers and marketers of
genuine golf and sports apparel under its Antigua brand—is proud to announce the Fair Labor
Association (FLA) Board of Directors has approved Antigua’s request to elevate the company’s affiliation status to Participating Company. The FLA promotes and protects workers’ rights and improves workplace conditions through collaboration between businesses, civil society organizations, and colleges and universities.
In early 2018 Antigua made the voluntary decision to affiliate with the FLA in the Participating Company category that would, in turn, begin a three-year implementation process, with the goal of achieving FLA accreditation of its social compliance program. Antigua acts with a strong commitment to social responsibility and currently manages a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Compliance Management Program that works to uphold fair labor standards throughout its supply chain. With the guidance and evaluation of the FLA, Antigua expects to enhance the existing program and meet the highest industry standards. Wherever FLA affiliates source their products, the FLA conducts transparent and independent monitoring to ensure that rigorous labor standards are upheld, identifies root causes of noncompliances, and proposes solutions to workplace problems.
The Antigua Compliance team looks forward to aligning its current policies and procedures with the FLA Principles of Fair Labor and Responsible Sourcing, implementing a more robust program that further ensures fair and safe working conditions at all owned and contract facilities, and partnering with other affiliated brands and suppliers on issues impacting global supply chains.
