12 global brands agree to new binding deal for factory safety in Bangladesh's garment industry
Published 06 Aug,2021 via The Financial Express - A dozen global brands have so far agreed to sign a fresh legally binding agreement to continue factory safety work in Bangladesh's garment industry, according to Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC).
On the other hand, more than another dozen stalled their negotiations back-tracking on an earlier decision to continue the programme, it said in a statement.
Apparel brands that responded positively to the CCC's call to support individual brand accountability, independent oversight and expansion are UK companies ASOS (Topman, Topshop, Miss Selfridge, HIIT) and Tesco, Japanese brand UNIQLO (Fast Retailing), German brands Tchibo, Esprit and KiK, and Dutch brands G-Star, Hunkemöller, Zeeman, Wibra and Schijvens.
