UNI Global has posted the following statement:
“Today marks 12 years since the Rana Plaza collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh that took the lives of 1138 garment workers and injured thousands more. On this day, we remember those who died, those who were injured, and all who continue to live with the impact of one of the worst industrial disasters in modern history.
“As an Accord signatory, we’re committed to safe, healthy working conditions at our sourcing facilities to prevent tragedies like Rana Plaza. We encourage more brands to sign the Accord agreements and put worker safety at the centre of their garment supply chains.
