Accord on factory and building safety in Bangladesh

摘要

This legally binding agreement between companies and trade unions was signed in May 2013 and now has around 200 signatories including Marks & Spencer, Primark and Matalan. The Accord's goal is to ensure "a safe and sustainable Bangladeshi ready-made garment (RMG) industry in which no worker needs to fear fires, building collapses, or other accidents that could be prevented with reasonable health and safety measures".
