Bangladesh Alliance adds to board

The Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety has elected Tapan Chowdhury, founder of Square Textiles and former president of the Dhaka Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce and Industry, and Simone Sultana, Chair of BRAC UK, to serve on its board of directors. The realignment of the board reflects the focus on strategic engagement.

The Alliance board of advisors provides expertise and counsel to the Alliance board of directors and senior leadership. And the membership relies on their guidance and counsel to bring about safe working conditions for garment factory workers in Bangladesh. Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety was founded by a group of North American apparel companies and retailers and brands in 2013 after the Rana Plaza tragedy. It is a binding five-year undertaking that will be transparent, results-oriented, measurable and verifiable with the intent of improving safety in Bangladeshi ready-made garment factories.

Collectively, these Alliance members represent the overwhelming majority of North American imports of readymade garments from Bangladesh, produced at more than 580 factories. Alliance also elected two new members to its board of advisors: Rumee Ali, Former MD of BRAC Enterprises & Investments and Vidiya Amrit Khan, Director, Desh Garments and Director of Bangladesh Garment Manufacturers and Exporters Association.
