Our Commitment
A Bit of History
Since 2010 UCLA has measured licensees’ level of understanding and execution of their management systems and processes geared toward progressing implementation of international labor standards throughout their supply chains.

The UC Trademark Licensing Code of Conduct (“UC Code”) requires supply chain transparency and disclosure and addresses standards to be met in the follow areas:
