Fast Retailing Hasn’t Decided to Join Bangladesh Safety Pact
This article is for subscribers only.
Fast Retailing Co., Asia’s largest clothing retailer, hasn’t decided if it will join a safety pact to improve fire and building safety in Bangladesh following the country’s worst industrial disaster.
The agreement has been supported by other retailers including Hennes & Mauritz AB and Inditex SA. The measure comes in the wake of collapse of the Rana Plaza factory building that killed at least 1,127 people a month ago and as more than 1 million consumers signed petitions urging companies to join the program.
