“We commend these factories for prioritizing remediation, and in doing so, demonstrating that every garment worker has a right to a safe workplace,” said Alliance Country Director Jim Moriarty.
“This past month’s success reinforces our confidence that Alliance factories will have substantially completed remediation and be well on the way to developing a sustainable culture of safety before the Alliance sunsets in 2018.”
The Alliance also continued to enforce accountability measures for factories that failed to make adequate remediation progress. In July, one factory was suspended from the Alliance compliant factory list, bringing the total number of suspended factories to 157.
