Today marks twelve years since the Rana Plaza collapse in Dhaka, Bangladesh — a tragedy that claimed the lives of at least 1,138 garment workers and left thousands more injured. We remember and honour those who lost their lives, those who were injured, and all who continue to bear the physical and emotional aftermath of one of the deadliest industrial disasters in recent history. This day is a solemn reminder of the human cost of unsafe working conditions. The Accord, alongside its signatories, partners, and stakeholders, remains steadfast in its commitment to ensuring safe and healthy workplaces for all garment and textile workers, where no one fears a building collapse or workplace accident. We encourage more brands to join the Accord and ensure worker health and safety in their supply chains.

We’ve signed the International Accord, an initiative that promotes workplace health and safety through regular factory inspections and supports remediation efforts to protect workers. We’re also proud to support the Employment Injury Scheme (EIS) pilot, which aligns workplace injury benefits with international standards.
