The Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety that during the month of June 10 additional Alliance-affiliated readymade garment (RMG) factories completed all material components outlined in their Corrective Action Plans (CAPs), bringing the total number of factories to have completed their CAPs to 92.
Alliance Country Director Jim Moriarty commended all these factories for making workplace safety a top priority and encouraged them to work together to make safer garment factories the rule and not the exception in Bangladesh.
The Alliance also continued to enforce accountability measures for factories that failed to make adequate remediation progress. In June, two factories were suspended from the Alliance compliant factory list, bringing the total number of suspended factories to 156.
The Alliance is working with worker organisations, factory owners, NGOs, civil society, technical and engineering consultants, industry associations, educational and training institutions and the government of Bangladesh to ensure that safety improvements are technically sound, impactful, and sustainable.
