DHAKA – The BGMEA and the Accord on Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh have officially signed a transition agreement to finalise the creation of the new RMG sustainability council (RSC), which aims to oversee the safety of garment workers in the country.
According to the newly signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between the two parties, all major functions of the Accord office in Bangladesh will transition into the new RSC before 31st May 2020.
The move comes at the same time as more than 80 garment factories in Bangladesh were stripped of their rights to import duty-free fabrics and raw materials due to safety breaches.
