61% Of The H&M Supplier Factories Lack Fire Protection Facilities, And The Interests Of The Workers In The Garment Industry Are More Concerned.

It is reported that the world

Business leaders, suppliers, trade union workers, moral investors and human rights groups agreed at the UN business and human rights forum to further standardize business codes of conduct and supply chain audit to improve workers' rights and working conditions, especially poor manufacturing countries like Kampuchea and Bangladesh.

Although they still differ in the way of change, it is possible to provide more consistent with the standards of the global core labor, and how to share the cost more equitably under the conditions of raising production level.

Johan Andresen, chairman of the ethics committee of the global pension fund of Norway, said: "well-known brands have strict codes of conduct, but obviously auditing is far from enough."

The Norway government Global Pension Fund ethics committee is the largest sovereign wealth fund in the world. It has invested more than 9000 companies worldwide in the amount of US $900 billion.

He said buyers and suppliers must cooperate to prevent labor violations.

In 2014, the Committee has started a comprehensive analysis of fund companies in Kampuchea and

Illegal practices in the clothing industry.

He said they found serious violations in the local independent investigation.

Under the guiding principles of the United Nations on commerce and human rights in 2011, it stipulates that the company has the duty to respect their human rights in the supply chain.

The committee said its adherence to the policy was "companies should investigate their subcontractors and assess where the risk of irregularities is greatest."

Margreet Vrieling, FWF's international verification coordinator of the fair dress foundation, said that over the past 15 years, companies have already had relevant codes of conduct, but little progress has been made.

The FWF is headquartered in Amsterdam. It is an independent, non-profit organization.

FWF's 80 employees represent about 120 brands, which work to improve the conditions of garment workers and assess whether they meet the agreed standards.

Vrieling said: "social dialogue is lacking in most garment producing countries, and it is one of the main obstacles to regulation."

He emphasized the importance of dialogue between management and workers in the factory.

Lars-ke Bergqvist, a clothing giant H&M as a sustainable development expert, points out that it is not enough to examine factory measurement conditions at a specific time, which often fails to provide a remedy basis.

Trade union and employers' representatives must try to "establish conflict resolution mechanisms to avoid problems we see."

He said that H&M should help industry social dialogue, even if it is the largest buyer in Kampuchea and Bangladesh.

"We can't change our industry. We need partners."

Kalpona Akter, executive director of Bangladesh workers solidarity center, said the alliance was important, but problems still existed.

The organization has been striving for better conditions for garment workers and has made compensation for victims of the 2013 Rana Plaza disaster, which killed more than 1100 workers.

Akter alleged that 61% of the factories that were suppliers of H&M were lack of fire doors.

She said: "unacceptable is a multinational enterprise that can earn 1 billion dollars in profits. From this point of view, it has not installed enough fireproof doors in Bangladesh.

I want H&M to end the delay in installing fire doors in our country and produce it in other countries. "

Bergqvist responded that the accident factory was not part of the plant appointed by H&M, and that the bad result should be attributed to the supplier.
