H&M Conscious Foundation Makes a Second Donation to the Rana Plaza Donors Trust Fund

March 17, 2015 /3BL Media/ - The mission of the Foundation is to drive long lasting positive change and improve living conditions by investing in people, communities and innovative ideas. In case of natural disasters in countries where H&M operates, the H&M Conscious Foundation can provide emergency relief. The H&M Conscious Foundation has for instance earlier supported victims of the Haiyan typhoon in the Philippines in 2013, flood victims in India in 2013 as well as flood victims in Nepal, India and Bangladesh in 2014.

H&M will continue its work with fire and building safety issues, as these questions are very important to the company. H&M has worked pro-actively with its suppliers for many years and was also the first company to sign the Bangladesh Accord on Fire and Building Safety in May 2013. Over 190 brands in the textile industry have now signed the Accord to work together with the ILO, global unions IndustriALL and UNI Global as well as Bangladesh trade unions for a more safe industry.
