Brands Failing on Worker Safety Commitments Post-Rana Plaza

Summary

Multiple fashion brands have failed to fulfill worker safety commitments made following the Rana Plaza collapse.

Score Rationale

Post-Rana Plaza safety commitments were highly publicized, industry-wide promises with measurable targets (building inspections, remediation). Failure to fulfill represents both significant social/environmental harm (worker safety = regulatory_violations, disclosure_gaps on progress) and prominent broken claims. High C-score driven by transformational scope promises made at executive levels across industry following tragedy. High G-score reflects systemic accountability failure at industry scale. Intent score elevated due to timing (crisis response), pattern matching (apparel industry greenwashing history), lack of verification, and vague progress reporting. Scores within 4 points = classic greenwashing.
