Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety

The Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety was a coalition of North American apparel brands and retailers formed in 2013 to improve safety standards for garment workers in Bangladesh after the Rana Plaza factory disaster. Its primary goal was to ensure safer working conditions through rigorous inspections, building repairs, and safety training. By working together, the alliance aimed to prevent accidents, promote industrial safety, and uphold ethical manufacturing practices, ultimately safeguarding workers’ lives and promoting responsible supply chains within the global garment industry.
