We are pleased to confirm that Boohoo Group has signed the Pakistan Accord, to help to support and improve the safety and well-being of the workers in our supply chain.

We take the fair and ethical treatment of our employees, suppliers, and partners worldwide very seriously and look forward to supporting the improvement of labour conditions in Pakistan through implementing the Pakistan Accord.

Alke Boessiger

UNI Global Union

The International Accord is a monument to health and safety on the global stage. Thanks to its ground-breaking inspection and training program, its high level of transparency, and its legally-binding mechanism, over two million garment and textile workers in Bangladesh are safe at work.

Anke Ehlers

ALDI South

The new Pakistan Accord will create a shared responsibility between retailers, manufacturers, and trade unions to create an environment where workers will benefit from not only safer workplaces, but also from an effective and transparent complaint mechanism. This agreement underlines ALDI’s priority and our strong commitment to protecting workers’ rights in our garment and home textile supply chains globally.

Ineke Zeldenrust

Clean Clothes Campaign

The hallmarks of the International Accord are accountability, enforceability, and transparency. As signed witnesses to this legally binding agreement, The Clean Clothes Campaign looks forward to continuing our work to ensure that the agreement is successfully implemented in Bangladesh and now, in Pakistan. We and our civil society and trade union members in Pakistan are heartened that workers throughout the supply chain of signatory brands will be protected by the Pakistan Accord’s independent inspection, training, and complaint mechanism.

Michael Bride

PVH Corp

PVH along with our brands Tommy Hilfiger and Calvin Klein, is proud to be associated with the International Accord and its mission. As a global apparel company and Accord Steering Committee member, we believe that the agreement is a great demonstration of what can be achieved when we collectively build trust and foster partnerships between corporations, labour unions and NGOs. We are committed to continuing to play a part in advancing this vital work.

Ansgar Lohmann

KiK

Positive change in the textile industry is possible if stakeholders from different fields work hand in hand. KiK has been pushing for better standards for a long time, and the Accord greatly helps to reach that goal by implementing concrete measures.

Joachim Juette-Overmeyer

Otto Group

The Accord concept has proven the ability to create a win-win-win situation for all parties within the textile supply chain by working professionally and pragmatically together to create a healthy and safe working environment which addresses the requirements in respect of transparency, safety and sustainability. With that it provides a substantial contribution on how all parties in national economies can prosper from international trade.

Jorge Alonso Campo

Inditex

Protecting workers from safety and health risks at work is fundamental to ensuring decent working conditions. Through a transparent and collaborative model on workplace safety such as the International Accord, we can achieve the common goal of delivering healthy and safe workplaces to workers in the garments and textile industry.

Rebecka Sancho

G-Star Raw

Agreements such as the International Accord are critical to be able to truly protect the health and safety of the people in our supply chain. We are therefore fully committed to the agreement and will continue to support the further international expansion of the Accord.

Atle Høie

IndustriALL Global Union

Since its inception in 2013, the Accord has brought significant, measurable change to Bangladesh’s textile and garment sector. It has changed mindsets and brought the issue of workers’ safety and rights to the center of the industry. And with its achievements in Bangladesh, the Accord has triggered change along the supply chain, opening up for implementation in more countries.

Christy Hoffman

UNI Global Union

This new agreement is further proof that the Accord model works. With its accountability, transparency, and legally binding commitments, the International Accord is an example of what modern due diligence should look like in Bangladesh and beyond.

Marina Fuhrmann

ALDI North

At ALDI Nord, we are working with the Accord since 2013 and are happy to expand this valuable work to Pakistan. The Accord is an important pillar in our efforts to advance human rights and implement effective due diligence in our production countries. Together with local partners, global unions, and our peers, we can promote health and safety to make production facilities in Pakistan safe workplaces.

Felicity Tapsell

BESTSELLER

As BESTSELLER we strive to work in collaboration with all stakeholders to achieve a positive impact on occupational health and safety for workers across our supply chain and deliver on our responsible business conduct commitments. The International Accord approach of utilising collective leverage, and securing accountability and transparency is an industry-approach, where all brands regardless of size can contribute to positive impact and progress in garment factories, and suppliers in these regions can benefit from a standardised approach to factory safety across multiple brands.

Michael Reidick

C&A

Through the International Accord, C&A is committed to working with labour unions and the industry to create lasting change in the Bangladeshi and Pakistani garment industries. C&A was one of the first brands to sign the Bangladesh Accord and has played an active role in the Steering Committee since the beginning. The Accord has made great progress in raising awareness of important safety measures, involving workers, and driving real change in factory safety in Bangladesh – we now look forward to supporting the Accord implementation in Pakistan.
