H&M backs collaboration between Swedish, Bangla govts and ILO

Hennes & Mauritz (H&M) has welcomed the new co-operation between the Swedish and Bangladeshi governments and the UN body ILO. It aims at strengthening the relation with the labour market and promoting social dialogue in the Bangladeshi textile industry. The collaboration agreement was signed during the UN General Assembly meeting in New York.

H&M says Bangladesh is an important production market for the company and it has been working to promote a stable labour market in the country for many years. “Thanks to our long experience from the Bangladeshi textile industry as well as our knowledge within the social dialogue area, we are able to contribute to this new collaboration hands-on,” the company said.

For example, H&M is running a social dialogue program in Bangladesh aiming at democratically elected employee committees at the supplier factories, which is an important part of our fair living wage strategy. It aims to cover all factories that produce for H&M under the project during 2018.

“Furthermore, we collaborate with the ILO and SIDA within skill development in Bangladesh. The project was initiated in 2013, and is also closely linked to our work within the wage area. This work aims at creating a link between actual skills and the wage level as well as improved productivity and occupational safety in the textile industry,” the company added.
