Patrick Zahn, CEO of the German manufacturer KiK Textiles and Non-Food GmbH, will launch a new initiative to improve building safety of its Pakistani suppliers on February 2 in Karachi. KiK has invited its 30 Pakistani suppliers to participate in an inspection of building safety, electrical safety and fire prevention conducted by U.S. based engineering company Elevate...These inspections conducted by experts will provide suppliers with an accurate view on how their factory performs in safety aspects according to international standards. The implementation of the suggested corrective measures as well as the responsibility for the overall security of the factory will ultimately remain solely with the factory owners.
