Asian Dialogues on Sustainability in the Textile and Garment Industry Online Seminar Series - “Moving the needle: Creating the future together“

In December last year, signatories to the International Accord for Health and Safety in the Textile and Garment Industry announced they are establishing a comprehensive workplace health and safety program in Pakistan covering signatories’ garment and textile suppliers. The new Pakistan Accord is a legally binding agreement between global unions, IndustriALL and UNI Global Union, and garment brands and retailers for an initial term of three years starting in 2023. 

The Pakistan Accord aims to incrementally cover more than 500 factories producing for more than 100 Accord signatory companies throughout the Sindh and Punjab provinces, where most of Pakistan’s $20 billion in garment and textile exports are manufactured annually.

In our 13th online seminar, hosted by GIZ Fabric, experts will discuss what brands, suppliers, and other stakeholders should expect between now and when the Accord goes live next year.
