Your purchase of “Officially Licensed Duke Products” helps to support the general fund of Duke University. We appreciate your support.

It guarantees the merchandise is of the highest quality available, and it signifies the item was produced by a Duke authorized manufacturer that meets the standards set forth by the University, including the requirements of Duke’s Code of Conduct for Duke Licensees.

Respect for Workers’ Rights
Duke has been a leader for over two decades in efforts to ensure good working conditions and wages for the workers who make university apparel. Duke has the first university to adopt a mandatory labor code with an independent monitoring system for the companies who make our products. Duke requires these companies to publicly disclose every factory around the world where they manufacture Duke goods, and works through multiple assessment organizations to monitor labor practices at these facilities. Duke has served for many years on the Board of the Worker Rights Consortium, a leading independent monitoring group, and helped launch the first oversees factory making apparel for the U.S. collegiate market that pays its workers a genuine living wage. Duke will continue to lead efforts to achieve progress on workers’ rights, and we hope this will make you especially proud to wear Duke’s name and trademarks.
