Fair Labor Practices

Tailgate Tikes works to ensure that our vendors and suppliers have the frameworks, policies, and procedures in place to respect workers' rights throughout our global supply chain. As an officially licensed collegiate brand, Tailgate Tikes is a registered affiliate of the Fair Labor Association's Collegiate Licensee Program.

The Fair Labor Association (FLA) is a network of companies, universities, and civil society organizations working to ensure that people working in the world's factories and farms are paid fairly and protected from risks to their safety and well-being. Through the Collegiate Licensee Program, the FLA provides training, tools, and resources that help licensees of member universities understand and mitigate labor rights risks in the supply chains producing university-licensed products. For more information, please visit fairlabor.org.

Central to our commitment is the Tailgate Tikes LLC Supplier Code of Conduct, which defines the standards we hold ourselves and our supply chain partners to. Our Code is based on the FLA Workplace Code of Conduct, International Labour Organization (ILO) standards, and internationally recognized labor practices, and it covers employment practices, nondiscrimination, harassment and abuse, forced labor, child labor, freedom of association, health and safety, hours of work, compensation, ethics, and responsible sourcing — including compliance with U.S. forced-labor import laws. We use these standards to evaluate working conditions and to work with our factories and suppliers when improvements are required, and every supplier producing Tailgate Tikes products is required to acknowledge and uphold the Code.

If you have a question or concern about labor practices in the Tailgate Tikes supply chain, please reach out through our Contact Us page. Reports can be made confidentially, and we prohibit retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith.
