H&M and Zara Make Substantive Pledge for Bangladeshi Worker Safety

After the multiple tragedies at garment factories this spring in Bangladesh, which have taken over 1,100 lives, safety reform in the country is clearly beyond imperative.  Of course, for it to come into effect, the Western companies who produce their clothes in the region have to be complicit in a change in policy.  It’s great news, then, that H&M and Zara’s parent company, Inditex, have agreed to a legally binding fire and safety agreement to protect the country’s garment factory workers.
