On September 10, 2016 a boiler exploded at the Tampaco Foils Ltd. factory in Bangladesh causing a fire and building collapse that took the lives of 35 workers and injured over 50 more. Two major companies—British American Tobacco (BAT) and Nestle--have a business relationship with the Tampaco factory to package their products.  An investor statement coordinated by ICCR has called on the two companies to commit to: 

1. Comprehensive fire and safety inspections that include thorough inspections of boilers.
2. Worker training on fire and safety procedures and worker/management safety and health committees.
3. Compensation to the workers injured and to the families of those killed at Tampaco, following the model of the Rana Plaza Donors Trust Fund..
