Rana Plaza Agreement

The Rana Plaza Agreement is a pact signed in 2013 by brands, factories, and unions after a deadly factory collapse in Bangladesh that killed over 1,100 workers. Its goal is to improve safety standards in garment factories by funding inspections, repairs, and safety improvements. The agreement also provides compensation and support for workers affected by accidents. It aims to prevent future tragedies by ensuring factories meet safer construction and working conditions, fostering accountability and collaboration among all stakeholders in the global apparel supply chain.
