Belgium launches its National Voluntary Report. A collection of Belgian initiatives that contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals. The report will be presented by Prime Minister Charles Michel to the United Nations on July 18.
1138 Bangladeshi workers were found dead between loads of garments destined for the European and American markets after the six-floor Rana Plaza complex in the industrial outskirts of Dhaka collapsed on 24 April 2013. Asia’s largest industrial catastrophe – after Bhopal – did not only disclose construction shortcomings but also the race to the bottom in the garment sector, which this time led to a deadly finish. How have authorities, businesses, trade unions and NGOs responded? Does the consumer have any sustainable alternatives?
The idea had been in the air for some time. The “Small Producers’ Symbol” was officially launched in November 2010 in Honduras, during the 4th General Assembly of CLAC (the Latin American and Caribbean Coordination of Small Fair Trade Producers).
