Clean Clothes Campaign has launched a public tracker showing which garment brands are advocates of a new strong binding agreement on factory safety and which major brands are obstacles to progress in the field of worker safety. The tracker calls out major companies such as H&M and Bestseller (Vero Moda, Jack & Jones) for not using their considerable power to ensure that advances on supply chain factory safety are maintained.

Clean Clothes Campaign (CCC) reached out to brands and retailers in the Bangladesh Accord to urge them to commit to the main elements of a strong new binding agreement, to show that not all brands and retailers are happy about the delay in reaching a new safety agreement. Eleven apparel companies, including ASOS, UNIQLO, and Esprit, answered that they are eager to sign a new agreement that is legally binding upon individual companies, has independent oversight, and can be expanded to other countries.

In their responses, many brands have become more outspoken about the need for individual brand accountability and independent oversight than in previous communication, but failed to speak out about the global nature of a new agreement. The Clean Clothes Campaign network believes that the expansion of the Accord model to other countries is an indispensable part of a new agreement.
