ABWS removes four more B’desh RMG units from supplier list

The Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety (ABWS), the platform of North American fashion brands and retailers, has removed the names of four more Bangladeshi readymade garment factories from its supplier list on charge of non-compliance with the safety standard. The factories are: Global Trousers and Uponti Apparels in Chittagong, V & R Fashions in Gazipur and The Dacca Dyeing Garments in Dhaka.

Out of the suspended four, two failed to submit design documents of the factory buildings and provide evidence of re-mediation while the other two were suspended due to closure. On the other hand, the Alliance withdrew its suspension of a factory as it started required re-mediation works. The platform, however, did not publish the name of the factory the name of which has been included in the supplier list after being suspended on March 8 this year.

With this of action the number of suspended factories by the Alliance currently stands at 91. It may be recalled that after the 2013 Rana Plaza building collapse which killed more than 1,100 people mostly garment workers, North American retailers including top brands Walmart and Gap formed the Alliance undertaking a five-year plan which set timelines and accountability for inspections and training and workers’ empowerment programmes.
