"Alliance Continues To Improve Safety in Bangladesh Garment Industry", 22 November 2016

It is important to note that the factories highlighted in the report are those producing products for both Alliance and Accord brands...There is no doubt that the Alliance has had a transformative impact in strengthening the structural integrity of Bangladeshi factories where millions of women and men make a living each day. We have proven this strong commitment to improving workplace safety in Bangladesh’s garment industry through concrete actions and results...The Alliance stands by its progress, which is validated by an accomplished team of on-the-ground engineers and professional staff, and we remain committed to our mission of creating a safer environment for the millions of workers that make a living in Bangladeshi factories. Together, the Alliance, the Accord, and the Government of Bangladesh, as well as NGO and advocacy stakeholders, must all work together to ensure the safety of Bangladeshi workers. Discriminating between initiatives to create misleading narratives will only serve to undermine our collective effort to improve worker safety.”
