Representatives from the independent monitoring companies visit the factories to assess compliance with both the local law and internationally recognized labor standards.
Independent monitoring companies are a pivotal part of our assessment process due to the legal expertise, familiarity with local culture and language, and technical knowledge required to adequately and appropriately assess the working conditions in a factory. The commitment to continuous improvement efforts within a facility between assessments together with responsible business practices will help drive positive and sustainable results. An assessment is a lens that shows a snapshot of working conditions as they are at a moment in time. We understand, though, that an assessment, on its own, does not improve working conditions.

FOTL utilizes internal, as well as independent auditors, to conduct on-site and/or virtual assessments to ensure compliance with this Code of Conduct. We have published a complete list of all of our owned facilities, our direct suppliers and licensees since 2012. However, we also source from other suppliers across the globe and, in some cases, license our trademarks to be used on specific goods in a limited territory. This gives us more operational and financial control to improve our environmental and social impact.
We have more than 33,000 employees across 11 countries - with 2 textile mills, 2 sporting goods manufacturing sites, 13 sewing and packaging facilities, 14 distribution centers and 10 offices. This means we make the majority (86% in 2021) of what we sell in our own facilities. Fruit of the Loom, Inc., operates an integrated supply chain.
