The Zeitz Foundation welcomes Auret van Heerden as its Specialist in the 4Cs dimension of Community. He is the CEO and President of the Fair Labor Association and his expertise and leadership will contribute greatly to the Foundation's community development work.
van Heerden began fighting for workers' and communities' rights as a student in apartheid South Africa over 30 years ago. He has been a major force in the anti-sweatshop movement and his work on labor issues in China and elsewhere belie a history of brave and passionate dedication to enhancing livelihoods and ensuring fair work practices.
Upon his appointment, van Heerden said, “The Zeitz Foundation’s commitment to promoting fair labor and human rights standards as an integral component to their innovative model of sustainability is unique in the conservation world. I am delighted to be working with the Foundation as the FLA’s first participating non-profit company.”
This unique collaboration with the FLA further underscores the Zeitz Foundation's dedication to pursuing fair labor standards in sustainable tourism and non-tourism industries worldwide.
