[PDF] Metro Group statement re: investigation of abuses at RL Denim factory in Bangladesh

...METRO Group was and is very concerned about media reports published in mid-May regarding the death of an 18-year-old worker at a supplier company in Bangladesh...The results of this investigation are now available.
