As a Fair Labor Association (FLA) Participating Company, New Era adheres to the FLA ‘s Code of Conduct and upholds fair compensation standards for workers. We have aligned our fair compensation strategy with the FLA’s, ensuring factory wages meets both the workers’ basic needs, covering areas such as food, housing, healthcare, and transportation, etc. as well as providing discretionary income eared during the regular work week.
We also support the FLA’s compensation tools and dashboard to facilitate wage data gathering and analysis. In 2021, we deployed FLA fair compensation assessment tools and guidance to our suppliers; there were 27 suppliers which completed the FLA fair compensation tools including all our strategic suppliers. The wage assessment data have been shared with the FLA for further review and analysis. Additionally, we started a pilot in partnership with our suppliers to find ways to improve worker compensation. In doing so, we successfully helped one of our suppliers significantly improve net wage of workers. In the next 5 years, we will extend wage assessments via the FLA’s tools to other suppliers, measuring of the strengths and weaknesses of compensation systems, and report this progress to our stakeholders. Our goal is to promote fair compensation, pay equity, gender equality, and responsible sourcing practices across all our supply chain.
We are fully committed to working and collaborating with suppliers, civil society organizations, unions, workers and other stakeholders to achieve these goals as well as sharing our experience on fair compensation project with other suppliers to foster better wages for workers.

At New Era, our commitment to the environment starts with our corporate Environmental Policy, in which every employee takes responsibility for reducing impact to the environment.
Even though our products and manufacturing processes don’t have as much environmental impact as some industries, we’re constantly looking for ways to minimize our footprint. Over the years, our efforts have included engineering our cutting process to minimize waste, overhauling lighting systems to conserve electricity, and purchasing green cleaning products. We’ve implemented Energy Management Systems (EMS) to control electrical energy consumption and whenever possible, we try to buy from local suppliers to reduce emissions from transportation.
We’re also proud of the green innovations we’ve undertaken at our headquarters such as recycling heat from IT back into our building and partnering with Metro Waste to convert our recycled paper into hand towels and toilet paper for our office use. In 2013, we conducted a product life cycle analysis to measure our environmental footprint, and since then have been working with our supply chain partners globally to reduce the environmental impacts of our products, such as through reducing energy, water and waste in the manufacturing process.
Our people create a culture of innovation that champions creative and critical thinking and allow us to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations of our products and our company.
