On 24 March 2015, one month before the second anniversary of the Rana Plaza building collapse, the Ethical Tading Initiative (ETI), Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) and Social Accountability International (SAI) have sent a joint statement urging Bangladeshi public and private partners to make a contribution under the Rana Plaza Arrangement in order to complete the existing funding gap and fully compensate the victims of this tragedy.

The financial contribution of the Bangladeshi government and the local employers’ organisations will be essential for the Arrangement – agreed November 2013 – to fulfil its goal of providing financial support to victims, their families and dependants.
