Factory Inspections to Assess Structural Damage from Bangladesh Earthquake
The International Accord is saddened by the earthquake in Bangladesh and concerned about the reported injuries and loss of life. Our thoughts are with all affected individuals and families.
Our engineering colleagues from the RMG Sustainability Council (RSC) are conducting post-incident inspections at Accord and RSC covered factories where cracks, structural damage, or injuries have been reported and will support the necessary remediation efforts. Ensuring workplace safety remains our highest priority.
We reaffirm every worker’s right to refuse unsafe work and will continue supporting signatory brands in fulfilling their commitments to uphold it. We are closely monitoring the situation and conducting detailed assessments to implement effective safety measures as the situation evolves.
