Bangladesh: Bangladesh overtook China and India in ethical compliance in apparel segment on the back of improved workplace safety following pressure from international inspection and remediation agencies, according to a new survey.
“In particular, ethical scores in Bangladesh rose by an average of 15 percent during the past 12 months,” said AsiaInspection in its first quarterly report of 2018 released last month.
This was likely reflecting the continuous pressure to improve put on Bangladesh’s textile and apparel manufacturers by the industry groups formed after the Rana Plaza collapse in 2013, it added.
