Alliance, Accord break away from six more RMG factories in Bangladesh

Global fashion brands and retailers have discontinued their business relations with six more RMG factories in Bangladesh for their failure to implement workplace safety measures as per the standards set by two separate platforms of the buyers, Alliance and Accord. With the six, the total number of RMG factories with which the Accord on Fire and Building Safety and the Alliance for Bangladesh Workers Safety have severed business relations on different occasions on the ground of workplace safety, reached 136. Of them, Accord has cut business ties with 41 supplier factories while the Alliance with 95 factories.

The latest is that between September 1-8, Accord terminated business relations with four of its suppliers as the factories failed to make required progress in remediation while Alliance cut business ties with two of its suppliers due to closure of the units.

While the factories which faced Accord termination are Han A Hats & Caps and Hanwen BD and Danys Knitwear and Kento Asia in Gazipur. The factories which were suspended from the Alliance list are Asian Apparels and Campha Outdoor based in Chittagong. Meanwhile, the North American retailers’ group has announced that five more Alliance-affiliated factories completed remediation during the months of August and September. That totals the number of fully-remediated factories to 39.
