VF reports on Bangladesh progress
14/08/2014
The announcement came on August 14 and follows the publication of the first Annual Report of The Alliance for Bangladesh Worker Safety, of which VF is a founder member.
During the past 13 months, there has been “measurable progress” in the areas of factory inspections and repairs, and worker training and empowerment initiatives, in addition to providing “significant financial resources” to ensure worker support and safety. It has pledged to spend at least $17 million to help improve conditions in Bangladesh.
Chief executive, Eric Wiseman, said: “At VF, the safety of our associates and the people who make our products around the world is a priority and we are putting our human and financial resources behind our commitmen. We are proud of our recent accomplishments and those of the Alliance in Bangladesh, but there is still much work to be done.”
