The Symbol of Fair Labor:
Fair Labor Practices & Community Benefits Certification

Our Fair Labor Practices & Community Benefits Certification ensures socially responsible practices that directly benefit workers, their families and communities in all types of agricultural production and processing. This unique certification ensures socially responsible practices at every step of the supply chain, from the farm all the way to the consumer.

Certification ensures:

  • Equitable hiring and employment practices
  • Safe working conditions
  • Access to health, education and transportation services
  • Support of local and regional communities
  • Appreciation of cultural and environmental impacts
SCS recently certified Maggie’s Organics, an apparel company that supplies Whole Foods, by auditing its entire supply chain–including cotton growing, harvesting, ginning, spinning, knitting, finishing, cutting, sewing, screen printing, and distribution. Maggie’s Organics is launching a new line of Fair Labor certified apparel items at Natural Products Expo West in March 2010.
