One of the means we utilize towards our goal of social compliance achievement is membership in various trade and professional organizations. Vendors that are in compliance with the parameters of these organizations open new pathways for themselves in terms of increased acceptance by retailers, manufacturers and the public as socially responsible employers.

In order to achieve affiliation with these groups, ALGI must demonstrate proficiency in the knowledge of treaties, laws, techniques and their applications. We are proud to be members of these organizations.

FLA - The Fair Labor Association is a non-profit organization established to protect the rights of workers in the United States and worldwide.

ALGI has been accredited to do audits in the USA, a number of countries in Latin America and China.
