Leading fashion companies – including H&M, Zara owner Inditex, C&A and Bestseller – have already confirmed their backing for the new International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry.
It includes a two year extension to the legally-binding agreement behind the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh which expires at the end of this month.
