BELLA+CANVAS Commitment to Workplace Standards
At BELLA+CANVAS, we are proud to be FLA accredited, having joined the Fair Labor Association (FLA) in October 2019. This collaborative organization, comprising socially responsible companies, universities, and civil society organizations, is dedicated to protecting workers' rights worldwide. Becoming part of the FLA was a significant milestone for us and our business partners, representing our commitment to uphold rigorous workplace standards and implement responsible purchasing and production principles as part of our ongoing dedication to social responsibility.
In pursuit of accreditation, we rolled out new policies, strengthened our management systems, and hired experienced social compliance professionals. We conducted internal and partner trainings and engaged in social compliance audits to ensure the highest standards across our operations. As a first step, we adopted a Workplace Code of Conduct at all owned facilities and required the same standards from any factory producing BELLA+CANVAS products. To support the adoption of these standards, we created a Social Compliance Manual outlining our expectations and processes.
With a legacy of over 25 years, BELLA+CANVAS has always prioritized social responsibility. Since 2017, our facilities have held WRAP certification, sourcing exclusively from WRAP-certified factories. Our affiliation and accreditation with the FLA reaffirms our commitment to respecting human rights and maintaining high labor standards across our supply chain. Following our FLA membership, we established a dedicated Social Compliance team to lead these programs, engage with civil society organizations, and seek expert guidance to address the most pressing issues. This section of our website is dedicated to updating our stakeholders on our continued efforts.

Our commitment to social responsibility is sewn into every product that bears the BELLA+CANVAS label.
