Why Denim Expert Ltd is one of the safest factories in Bangladesh

Five years ago today, the Rana Plaza building in Savar, Bangladesh collapsed, marking the most deadly accident in the history of the apparel industry. Thousands of workers at their sewing machines and cutting stations were at work in the five factories when the building crumbled, trapping them under concrete and rubble. 1,138 of them died, while thousands more were left with life-changing injuries. Many brands and retailers saw this horrific wake-up call to change their producing standards and implement strict rules of compliance, but there is one factory owner in Bangladesh who has been working hard over the past ten years to ensure everything from the building itself to its workers are protected and able to grow sustainably.
