Who has signed the Bangladesh safety accord – update

More than 220 companies have now signed the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh following the collapse of the Rana Plaza factory building in Dhaka, which killed more than 1,100 people in 2013.

The legally-binding five-year agreement will see independent safety inspections with public reports on all Bangladeshi suppliers used by the signatory companies, mandatory repairs and renovations, the obligation by brands to underwrite the costs of safety upgrades, and repercussions for suppliers that refuse to improve conditions, including the termination of business.

Here is a list of the brands and retailers that have signed up to the agreement. The most recent additions are Chantal SAS, Fristad Kansas Sverige, Gekås Ullared AB.
