UNIQLO Opened A Shop In Bangladesh And Refused To Join The Security Agreement.
UNIQLO is very popular in Japan. clothing After the collapse of the Bangladesh clothing factory, UNIQLO did not join the production agreement in Bangladesh, but chose to open two retail outlets directly in Bangladesh. The company says it wants to bring safety to Bangladesh.
The clothes sold by the two stores will be produced by factories in Bangladesh. clothes Production will be carried out according to the "independent safety standards".
"What we are thinking now is (PS: to improve Bangladesh's production safety) what we can do ourselves," said Yukihiro Nitta, head of social responsibility at fast retailing group of UNIQLO's parent company.
UNIQLO was the first international fashion retail companies to open stores in Bangladesh.
Since the death of 1129 people in a garment factory building in Bangladesh in April, a total of 80 clothing retail companies have signed a "safety agreement" to ensure the safe production of Bangladesh supplier factories. But UNIQLO refused to join the agreement.
Cathy Feingold, head of the International Department of AFL-CIO, said that many chain retail companies have developed their own safety production standards, which claim that their safety standards are binding on suppliers' factories. But the practice of twenty years has proved that this way is failure, so the decentralized and unorganized independent supervision method is far from enough. Therefore, under the leadership of the ILO IndustriALL Global Union, a "safety agreement" was designed to supervise the safe production of supplier factories. IndustriALL Global Union has persuaded many European and American companies to join the agreement. In the coming months, they will also exert pressure on the Asian companies to urge them to join the agreement.
Jyrki Raina, Secretary General of the IndustriALL Global Union, who led the development of the security agreement, said: "what we can do now is to have our Japanese affiliates find some Target Corp and see how they should be urged to join the agreement."
UNIQLO has been making garments in Bangladesh since 2008, but most of its garments are made by Chinese factories. Fast marketing group is striving to expand its scale to become the world's largest apparel retail group by 2020. At present, fast selling group is the fourth largest apparel retailer in the world.
However, the negative reports of UNIQLO in production increased rapidly from 2011 to 2012. Among them, the report of "serious violation" of UNIQLO factory increased from 19 to 34, and the reports of "serious immorality" and "serious offense" increased from zero to seven.
